Draft watch: Tight Ends
http://www.***BANNED-URL***/sharedcontent/dws/spt/stories/091510dnspoinsidenfl.f2648c28.html
Running with the football is a strength of Rob Housler. It’s what makes him attractive to NFL scouts. He set a school record at Florida Atlantic with a 68-yard touchdown run as a sophomore in 2007 and also caught a 71-yard pass as a junior in 2008. Heading into this fall, the Converse Judson product is the top-rated tight end in the 2011 NFL draft.
Housler played two seasons as a backup at Florida Atlantic and then blossomed as a junior, catching 32 passes for 519 yards and four touchdowns. But he redshirted as a true senior in 2009, gaining 23 pounds to go from 215 to 238. He also spent the 2009 season simulating quarterbacks in spread offenses for the Florida Atlantic scout team.
Housler can run – and he’ll get the chance on Sundays in 2011. Here’s a list of the top tight ends heading into the 2011 NFL draft:
