This is my guy. His college highlights are legit. Coming out of Harvard, he wasn’t battling elite competition, but he’s super athletic. Hopefully he can step up behind Shaheen and Burton with Simms not taking up any space.

He looked really good last training camp and there is a chance he still develops. Finally starting show the level of athleticism that he tested at before the draft. He can play both TE spots and special teams, which is what is needed out of the 3rd TE.

I like Braunecker. Not sure he can get open, but he tries hard.
