NFL Draft: 5 Most Eye-Catching Prospects

5. TE Joe Fauria UCLA

Joe Fauria is an interesting prospect coming out of UCLA. He towers over most people on an NFL team, standing at 6'7 weighing in at 260 lbs. He's very athletic and has a big frame to work with. He thrives in the red zone where he scores most of his touchdowns and can change a game with a mismatch with a linebacker, safety, or a cornerback. However, he is not going to be a full-time tight end in the NFL. With his lean frame and tall body it's hard for him to get low and block defensive lineman. He also doesn't have the strength to re-direct defenders. Fauria will intrigue a lot of NFL teams with his size, hands, and athleticism, but don't count on too much blocking from Big Joe in the future.
