3. TE Jason Croom
Up to 250 pounds, and more importantly, healthy, Croom has a ton of upside at the tight end position. Offensive coordinator Mike DeBord said he has “mismatch” potential. But where he’ll need to prove himself is in the blocking aspect of the game. Can he line up in a three-point stretch and knock a defensive lineman off the ball? That’s what he’ll need to prove this spring. If he can do that, he not only could help UT, but might turn himself into an intriguing NFL prospect.
