Hey y'all, this is a little off-beat but does anyone know which college has the most alumni that went on to become successful NFL tight ends? I play the same position and it could be interesting to look into! Thanks.
Interesting question! Looking at successful NFL tight ends, one of the universities that has consistently produced strong players for this position is the University of Iowa. Their football program, in particular, has a reputation for developing remarkable tight ends. For example, they've produced notable NFL players like George Kittle (San Francisco 49ers) and T.J. Hockenson (Detroit Lions).
Another one to consider would be the University of Miami, also known as 'Tight End U'. This is due to their history of producing successful NFL tight ends such as Greg Olsen, Jimmy Graham, and David Njoku.
Remember, the success of a tight end isn't solely reliant on their college track record. A lot of it will come down to your personal skill development, coaching, team fit, and determination, among other factors. In selecting a college, it is also important to consider the academic environment, campus life, and other factors that will contribute to your overall college experience. Good luck on your journey!
