If you’re looking for this year’s Rob Gronkowski, you’ll find him in Maxx Williams. Expected to be the first tight end off the board, Williams hauled in 36 receptions for 569 yards and 8 TDs in 2014. Dan Lavoie of Buffalo Rumblings, a Bills blog, broke down Williams' profile:

Williams is an intriguing prospect because he is capable of some things that other players just can’t do. He flashes elite ability at the catch point, and has the seam-stretching athleticism to be a dangerous receiving threat at the position. He’s also only 21 years old and could probably build up his frame further, potentially becoming one of the top tight ends in the league. However, you can’t just dream on potential with prospects; you also need to consider what they can do immediately. Right now, Williams doesn’t seem ready to start in the NFL. He’s just too one-dimensional, and the last pair of outstanding receiving tight ends to enter the NFL (Eric Ebron and Amaro) amassed fewer than 600 yards receiving combined in their rookie seasons.

Walford has already been heralded as the “most explosive tight end” in the 2015 draft class.

Mayock noted that Miami coaches lined up Walford in a variety of places – in the slot, out wide and with his hand down as a “normal” tight end – and said he expected Walford to run a 40-yard dash of around 4.65, which Mayock said would be “tremendous” for a player of his size.

Rick Frese, a journalist in Pruitt’s hometown of Kirkwood (MO), praised the tight end in a feature prior to the East-West Shrine Game:

At this point, Pruitt is projected to be drafted anywhere from the third to fifth round. A four-year starter for the Salukis, Pruitt has the talent, skills and potential to one day be a starter for one of the 32 NFL teams. He has soft hands, size and the speed to excel on Sundays – all the attributes needed to play the position in the pass-happy league.
