Delp

Spending all four of his college seasons at Georgia, Delp (6’5/245) has limited receiving production but possesses a good build and flashes physicality. A starter for three years, Delp never surpassed 300 yards receiving during his time with the Bulldogs. Serviceable with the ball in his hands, Delp averaged 7.9 yards after catch per reception, No. 17 among tight ends last season. As a blocker, he lacks length but has the physicality and agility to block in motion. Playing through a hairline fracture in his left foot for 2025, Delp had limited testing at the NFL Combine. Still, his toolset contains enough to make him “a prime candidate to be a better pro than he was a college player,” according to the Athletic’s Dane Brugler. An NFL team may take a chance on Delp to reach a ceiling he has yet to hit.

Delp has been very busy lately. He also took top-30 visits with the Buccaneers, Chargers, Vikings, Patriots, and Ravens. Delp was a three-year starter at Georgia, playing sidekick to current Raiders TE Brock Bowers in 2022 and 2023. Unfortunately, Delp never became a featured receiving option after Bowers was drafted. Delp possesses good size and athleticism. He has the potential to develop at the pro level.

Delp last week made pre-draft visits with the Vikings, Patriots, and Ravens. Delp at Georgia was a little-used tight end who totaled 65 receptions for 793 yards and seven touchdowns over his final three collegiate seasons. He was targeted on a meager 13 percent of his pass routes over those three years. Delp, 23, profiles as a rotational tight end to start his NFL career, though he has some upside if he lands in the right spot. In LA he would compete with Oronde Gadsden II for tight end snaps and routes, and in Tampa he would compete with Cade Otton, who recently re-signed with the Bucs.
