  • Stanford has had a recent trend of putting tight ends in the NFL, and senior Dalton Schultz could be next in line.
  • Playing 723 snaps as a junior in 2016, Schultz recorded a overall grade of 78.9, but where he really stood out was in run blocking.
  • The 6-foot-5, 240-pound Schultz recorded a run blocking grade of 83.2 in 2016, ranking him No. 2 among returning tight ends. Running behind Schultz on the left side where he primarily lined up, Stanford ball carriers averaged 5.1 yards an attempt.
  • Schultz wasn't used much in Stanford's passing game in 2016, and it reflects in his 0.81 yards per route run which ranked No. 71 among tight ends.
