2016 NFL Draft Range: Late 1st Round – 2nd Round

Hunter Henry is the consensus No. 1 tight end in the 2016 NFL Draft. He is the 2015 John Mackey Award winner as college football’s most outstanding tight end and a consensus All-American after leading all tight ends in receiving yards in his final year in college.

“I believe the tight end is a big part of the NFL,” Hunter told The Washington Post. “I believe I bring something that’s different than a lot of guys would bring. This versatility, I’m going to be able to play every down. That’s something I believe. I’m going to be able to stay on the field consistently. I’m not just a first-down guy. I’m not just a third-down guy. I can play all three downs. It’s a big part of the NFL.”

According to his draft profile at NFL.com, Henry is a:

"Flat-­running stud as a run blocker and a big part of Arkansas’ running game success. Strikes into the frame of defenders with inside hands and blocks with a wide, strong base. Able to turn outside linebackers and cornerbacks out of their run fits and sustains his blocks as long as he can. Had no drops and 51 catches this season. Able to secure contested catches and eminent hits won’t scare him away from the catch. Able to work all three levels as a go-­to target. Too talented to be covered by most linebackers. Able to run a variety of routes and has no reason to leave the field."

Henry is projected to go late in the first round or early in the second round, meaning he could be a target for the Browns with pick No. 32 if he is available.
