Brevyn Spann-Ford-TE-Minnesota

Definitely more of a luxury but with Kittle going up there in years and Latu looking lost in the sauce this offseason, Spann-Ford is an intriguing option. Highly effective as a receiver and greatly improved as a blocker, with tremendous size and length, he has the talent to step in and make an impact at TE as a rookie. Athletic with a basketball background, he knows how to utilize his size to come down with contested catches. The Gophers have used him all over the offense in a variety of roles. He's a versatile weapon at 260+ pounds that still has the frame to be able to add more weight in the NFL. Another 6-7 TE who hurdles in the open field not named Darnell.

Lots to like with his size, move blocking ability and receiving reliability. pic.twitter.com/6obuRQAlFV— Devin Jackson (@RealD_Jackson) May 28, 2023TEs keep getting bigger and more athletic.Minnesota will bring a good one to Lincoln on Saturday in Brevyn Spann-Ford, a 6-foot-7, 270-pounder. Has a hoop background, and played point at St. Cloud Tech, averaging 19.9 pts, 11 reb, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 2017-18. pic.twitter.com/hbPZDFUVNy— Steve Marik (@Steve_Marik) November 3, 2022#Gophers TE Brevyn Spann-Ford has to be utilized more like this…6'7" 270lbs with bounce like this… there is not a LB in college that can cover him on jump balls. At that size it's even tough for a safety to cover him on a fade in the RedZone… pic.twitter.com/SidacOfi8B— Ron Johnson (@3RonJohnson) October 15, 2022

Looks like one of those prospects & webzone crushes that'll rise high into the 1st round and out of our reach.

I really like him. Had a horrible quarterback so don't judge him by his stats. Will be a better pro player imo

Latu is just the latest of our bad third round picks. If he performs as bad as he did this preseason, the Niners should replace him with another legit successor to Kittle. Having a big body like Spann-Ford paired with Brayden Willis long term would be nice.

This is one of my favorite TE prospects. We gotta get a guy who has starting caliber abilities and IMO I feel he's got that.
