Dude has top 10 pick talent, if he can stay healthy he's easily an all-american favorite
His measurables won’t be good enough to be a first round pick. 6’2 TE who runs around a ~4.7 40. NFL teams care too much about that stuff
I'd generally agree, he'd need to be a combine warrior to get into the first round. But Evan Engram did it with similar measureables, so it's not completely out of the question.
Evan Engram also ran the second fastest 40 time ever for a TE at the combine at 6’3” 235 (second only to Vernon Davis).
After a senior season where Engram had 65 catches, 8 TDS, and almost 1000 yards receiving for Ole Miss in 11 games.
I’ll be surprised if Petersen’s scheme ever gets 50+ receptions to Bryant. Maybe it’s possible in a season where UW plays 14 or 15 games? 5+ catches a game for Bryant seems way out of scheme... meh
Eason throws a lot to TEs though. Isaac Nauta had 29 receptions (as a freshman) in 2016, and that guy straight up blows. If Hunter plays every game and doesn't have 40+ receptions this year I'd consider that a huge failure by the coaching staff.
2018 (rec/yrds/td)- Sample 25/252/3, Otton 13/174/3, Bryant 11/238/1; Tot 49/664/7
2017 - Bryant 22/331/1, Dissly 21/289/2; Tot 43/620/3
2016 - Daniels 17/307/3, Sample 9/106/0, Dissly 4/47/1: Tot 30/460/4
2015 - Perkins 36/539/3, Daniels 19/250/1, Sample 5/45/2; Tot 60/1165/6
2014 - Perkins 25/315/3, Daniels 11/171/1; Tot 36/486/4
I would like as much as the next person that Petersen used the TEs more, especially given how shit the WRs have been outside of Ross/Pettis and how noodle armed the QB has been. But its clear the scheme is not going to pepper Bryant with the required pass attempts to put up Engram like numbers in 11 games.
If Bryant gets 65 catches in a season he will have more single season receptions than any other player under Petersen not named John Ross.
In 14 games Bryant getting about 45/700/5 seems like a fair prediction given the scheme Petersen/UW runs.
