Could This Former QB Be Patriots’ Long-Awaited Rob Gronkowski Replacement?!?! (via NESN)
INDIANAPOLIS — In 2015, Adam Trautman arrived at the University of Dayton with a clear goal in mind.
It’s rare for a school like Dayton, which hasn’t had a player selected in the NFL draft since before Tom Brady was born, to produce a prospect like Trautman. It took some time for him to grow into his new position — he was limited to scout-team duty in 2015, then caught a modest 26 passes in 11 games as a redshirt freshman in 2016 — but Chamberlin quickly learned he was dealing with a rare talent.
What they saw was a player who, despite having zero experience as a blocker or pass-catcher before college, had developed into a true two-way tight end. He boasts the versatility to line up in multiple spots and the physicality to move bodies in the run game, describing himself as a “big chess piece” in the mold of San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle.
Drafting a tight end from college football’s lower levels has yielded mixed results in recent years. The Philadelphia Eagles selected FCS product Dallas Goedert in the second round in 2018, and he’s turned into a solid No. 2 behind perennial Pro Bowler Zach Ertz. The Chicago Bears weren’t so fortunate. They used a second-round pick on Adam Shaheen out of Division II Ashland one year earlier, and he’s caught just 26 passes in three seasons.
