If that happens, it would be the first time in the NFL’s modern era that one school produced two first-round tight ends. “If [Eric] Ebron can go 10th overall, [Hockenson] can too,” a college scouting director told us at the Senior Bowl. Riley Odoms, who went fifth overall in 1972, was the highest-drafted tight end in the modern era. We seldom see redshirt sophomores look this poised and developed at tight end, so his decision to enter the draft was not a hasty or ill-fated call. Yes, a tight end could be off the board before the first running back or wide receiver goes.
