136. Brycen Hopkins

From my big Board:

68. Brycen Hopkins - TE - Purdue - 6'-4" 245 lbs. - Your prototypical new age TE. A mismatch problem in the middle of the field that is a smooth, easy mover. Not an inline blocker, I worry a bit about his hands.

My #1 TE, 1 of 3 Tier 1 TEs, my 3rd best player available on my Rams Stacked Board at time of pick

Pros:
Vertical seam threat
Decent speed (4.66)
Soft hands will pluck the ball
good athlete for the position
OK after the catch
competes for the ball

Cons:
does have some drops (concentration?)
Not a great inline blocker
Not a ton of power

He is my #1 TE simply because this is what the new age TE looks like. 6'-4", 245 and can stretch a defense vertically down the seam. Not a ton of wiggle but he can do damage in the open field. I think he is a H-back, move TE in the NFL.

From my senior bowl practice thoughts 12/27/19: [ramsrule.com]

TEs
Brycen Hopkins - Purdue - my #2 or 3ish TE right now. I want to see him catch the ball at the senior bowl. I have concerns, but he gets open.


From Alyo's post Senior Bowl review: [ramsrule.com]

Alyo - Purdue Brycen Hopkins TE Big Ten He's on everyone's radar so he'll go early. Deadpool -1st TE off the board? Probably

From Alyo's combine post: [ramsrule.com]

TEs:
Who cares they all suck. No not really, But I have zero first rounders.
Hopkins is my top guy and he is 245. Shaky hands. Gauntlet should be an adventure for him
(Me now - he had a very good combine IMO)

Being a Purdue alum and watching him play, he reminds me a lot of Higbee and in my opinion, has very similar hands to Tyler. Both make some great catches but both also drop some easy ones. it seems like Higbee's hands have improved this last year. What is your opinion on this comparison of hands?
Thanks!

  Hopkins Ranked 3rd in total yds and 5th in total TD's among TE

RamBill240April 25, 2020 08:58AM

  Drops tendency is a real no-no for me
