NFL Combine 2019: Draft prospects who stood out

Foster Moreau, TE, LSU

This guy already had an excellent Senior Bowl week as a blocker and showed upside to take on an increased role in the passing game compared to the 52 career catches he had with the Tigers. Moreau surprised me with a 4.66 in the 40 and a 36.5-inch vertical, after I thought he was a rather average athlete and more of a pure football player, who can help a team out in a variety of ways off the ball.

The LSU tight-end looked natural at catching the ball on the sideline and the gauntlet drill as well as adjusting to high and low balls on several routes. Of course he also shined on those drive blocks against the bag, where he created good movement with a wide base and powerful strides. With this uber-athletic class he might not beat everybody in a foot race, but considering how well this translates to the football field and the upside he brings as a blocker, with the ability to line up at football on some occasions, I think Moreau could hear his name called early on day three.
