@SlaterKinnick_ Any thoughts on who breaks out this year?!

[Scott Dochterman @ScottDochterman]

In a story for tomorrow, @SethWEmerson and I examined the uptick in drafted TEs (21) and some of the factors why.
As part of it, we looked at the 7 or so schools that are considered the top TE producers over the last 10 drafts. Here are their combined NFL stats.

[Chicago Cubs @Cubs]

MO CAN SWING IT.

[Slater @SlaterKinnick_]

Draft picks over the last 10 years:

Iowa - 43
Iowa State - 16
Nebraska - 18

@MattSewell6 @priceacarter Don't think Jacas makes it past the Pack at 52

[Greg Huss @OutOfTheVines]

It’s one thing for Nico Hoerner to be a Gold Glover and speed demon and bat-to-ball genius and also very dreamy.

But now he’s also a power hitter? Have mercy.

@PeteRicketts LIES

[Brett Taylor @Brett_A_Taylor]

guy who created the MLBN top 100 players list that didn't include Nico Hoerner, checking the highlights every morning

[Brendan Miller @brendan_cubs]

This is the most glove side "stretched out" diving stop of Nico Hoerner's career. He's parallel to the ground at the lip of the grass against a scorcher. Incredible.

A super slowed down and zoomed in look.

(And he knows it. Look at his reaction. He knows. That's the best.)

[Chicago Cubs @Cubs]

Nicely done, Nico. 😌

Wake up babe, a new Nico gif just dropped
