Oscar Delp

Coming out of high school, Oscar Delp was the No. 1 tight end prospect in the country. He had offers galore, but stayed close to home and went to Georgia. His first two seasons were spent behind Brock Bowers, but his best statistical season came as a sophomore. That year, he reeled in 24 catches for 284 yards and three touchdowns. 

Overall, Delp finished his collegiate career with 70 receptions for 854 yards and nine scores. The limited production is a bit of a concern. That said, we learned at the NFL Combine that Delp played most of his senior year with a foot fracture. Despite the injury, he showed his toughness by playing in all 14 games.

Oscar Delp has acceleration and speed that jumps off the screen. He has a quick burst off the line, using that to get to the second level in a hurry. His speed is also unfair for linebackers trying to cover him. Delp can blow past them down the seam and get deep like few at his position can. He’s also versatile enough that he can be lined up all over the formation, helping create chaos and mismatches.
