Tight end sits right near the top of the 49ers’ list of needs in the NFL draft. We can now add Old Dominion University TE Zack Kuntz to the list of players they’ve met with at the position. Kuntz and the 49ers talked virtually per Draft Network’s Justin Melo. Where San Francisco is picking in this year’s draft, there aren’t many more interesting tight end prospects than Kuntz.
He is a giant at 6-7, 255 pounds, and he lit up the combine with big-time testing numbers. Kuntz ripped of a 4.55 40-yard dash with a 1.57 10-yard split. He leapt 40 inches in the vertical and 10-8 in the broad jump, while churning out a 6.87 in the three-cone and 4.12 in the 20-yard shuttle. All of those marks are in the 90th percentile or better at the position according to MockDraftable.
