2024 NFL Draft Scouting Report Jack Bradley, TE, Rice

Player Data

Per Year Stats

Player Summary:

6’4 ¾”, 254-pound tight end with a slim, athletic build and large, rangy frame. Most impactful as a run blocker. Uses fluid initial quickness, strong hand & hat placement, and proficient ankle/knee flexibility to control the POA. Solid blocking instincts and savvy FBI to identify rush threats pre-snap. Possesses a quality first step and reactionary athleticism out of his three-point stance. Operates with good pad level and leverage off the LOS. Drives feet and rolls hips through contact. Displays sufficient play strength in in-line blocking situations. Would benefit from adding 15-20 pounds of mass to improve play strength, sustain blocks longer, and avoid being shed. Flashes notable body control & awareness to seal an edge as a blocker and box out defensive backs as a receiver. Consistent hands-catcher with strong hands and an intriguing catch radius. Catches the ball cleanly in traffic. Adequate route runner with a basic route tree and insufficient twitch in phase. Exhibits some hip stiffness and a lack of physicality at the top of the route to create ample separation. More of a short receiver than a vertical threat. His decent play speed makes him a threat to collect yards after the catch on short routes. Not very shifty with the ball in his hands. Most comfortable playing with his hand in the ground as an attached-H tight end; Has some versatility to line-up as a flexed Y-tight end given his capable release, ball skills, and in-line blocking ability on the perimeter.

Scheme Fit:

Projects best as a H-Tight End in a single-back power run scheme

Power Statement:

Bradley is a primary run blocker with some upside as a pass catcher on short, underneath routes. He offers value in heavy goal-line packages and on special teams.
