The Los Angeles Rams should be in the market for a tight end this offseason, even with Tyler Higbee still under contract. This is a loaded draft class at that position and selecting one in the first few rounds wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Zack Kuntz from Old Dominion is a very intriguing prospect after he crushed his combine performance. At 6-foot-7, he ran a 4.55 in the 40-yard dash and jumped 40 inches in the vertical, making him the tallest player in combine history with a 40-inch vertical.
The Rams are showing interest in Kuntz, meeting with him virtually this offseason, according to Justin Melo of The Draft Network.

Kuntz could go as early as the second or third round with his athletic profile, but a lack of college production could limit his draft stock. In five years between Penn State and ODU, Kuntz only had one season with at least 15 catches and 150 yards. That was in 2021 when he had 73 catches for 692 and five touchdowns.
