Darion Grisworld-TE-Arkansas State

Grisworld has really helped himself out at the E-W Shrine practices. He's a guy that teams will go back to review his tape after having a very good week of practices. Grisworld is very raw, a former basketball player, started out originally as a quarterback before moving to TE, definitely more of a project but one that moved to draftable status with the week that he has had. He has good size for the position, coming in at 6'3" and 253 pounds with very good athleticism and leaping ability. Extremely raw as a blocker but a guy that has all the tools that you look for in a TE, is just in need of some good coaching and time to develop. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000626747/article/javon-hargrave-tajae-sharpe-lead-shrine-game-standouts Arkansas State TE Darion Griswold had a solid week of practice. He has ideal size for the position and he's a smooth, easy mover in the passing game. He can extend and attack the ball, as well as track it naturally over his shoulder. This is a weak tight end draft class and he really helped himself this week.

Mentioned him a few weeks ago. Definitely a late round sleeper. He's quicker than he is fast and needs a ton of coaching. Upside is there as he's new to the position and is a natural attacking the ball.

This. Good hands and quickness, its almost as if he'd be a good fit in an offense that is all about quick throws to receivers and tight-ends in space.

Would be a nice guy to take a flyer on late.

From my alma mater, I would definitely be game in the later rounds.
