2/13/23: In 2022, Bowers recorded 63 receptions for 942 yards and seven touchdowns. He was phenomenal showing great athleticism, speed, and receiving ability. Bowers was a freshman sensation for the Bulldogs in 2021 and a huge receiving weapon in helping Georgia win its first National Championship since 1980. Immediately, Bowers was a mismatch weapon with excellent speed, athleticism, and run-after-the-catch ability. In 2021, he recorded 56 receptions for 882 yards and 13 touchdowns.

2/13/23: Sanders emerged as a dangerous receiving weapon in 2022, showing mismatch speed and athleticism. In 2022, he recorded 54 receptions for 613 yards and five touchdowns. Sanders needs to improve as a blocker, but he has upside to be even better in 2023.

  • '21 - Tre' McKitty, Georgia
3. Nebraska image Arik Gilbert*, TE, Nebraska
Height: 6-5. Weight: 248.
Projected 40 Time: 4.50.
Projected Round (2024): 1-3
View Ranking History

2/13/23: In the scouting community, Gilbert has been known to be a freak athlete with a special skill set for years. He started out his collegiate career at LSU before a winding transfer process that went through Florida and ended up at Georgia. Gilbert did not play in 2021, and 2020 was his only season of play thus far, with 35 catches for 368 yards and two touchdowns. In 2022, Gilbert was behind Brock Bowers and Darnell Washington. Gilbert caught two passes for 16 yards and a touchdown. After the season, he transferred to Nebraska.

Gilbert has character concerns, but he is said to have a tremendous skill set. That physical talent saw NFL advance scouts giving him an early-round projection entering the 2022 season.



Previous Seasons

  • '22 - Isaiah Likely, Coastal Carolina
  • '21 - Brevin Jordan, Miami
4. Michigan image Erick All, TE, Michigan
Height: 6-5. Weight: 255.
Projected 40 Time: 4.66.
Projected Round (2024): 3-5.
View Ranking History

2/13/23: All went out for the year in 2022 after having undergone successful "life-changing surgery" at the BioSpine Institute in Florida. Some pro team sources thought All was the best tight end prospect for the 2023 NFL Draft prior to him going out for the season. All impressed evaluators with his 2021 season, in which he made 38 catches for 437 yards and two touchdowns. He recorded just three catches for 36 yards for his 2022. The sources who like All believe he is faster and a better blocker than Notre Dame's Michael Mayer.





Previous Seasons

  • '22 - Jalen Wydermyer, Texas A&M
  • '21 - Hunter Long, Boston College
5. Wake Forest image Blake Whiteheart, TE, Wake Forest
Height: 6-4. Weight: 240.

Projected Round (2024): 4-6.
View Ranking History

2/13/23: Whiteheart notched 24 receptions for 295 yards and three touchdowns in 2022. He flashed enough receiving ability at Wake Forest to make it onto NFL teams' preseason watch list for the 2023 NFL Draft. In 2021, he had 15 receptions for 185 yards and three touchdowns. Whiteheart could rise if he performs well as a senior.
