One of the most athletically-gifted players in the draft, it was a huge surprise to see tight end Zach Kuntz fall to the final round of the NFL Draft.
With one of the last picks, the New York Jets decided to take a chance on his upside and drafted him - adding to an already stacked receiving core under Aaron Rodgers.
Kuntz had a tough go-around at college, failing to see the field much at Penn State before transferring to Old Dominion and suffering a knee injury that limited his final season.
But just a few weeks ago, Kuntz put in one of the most impressive scores ever from a tight end at the Scouting Combine - setting position bests at vertical jump, broad jump and three-cone drill - despite standing at a whopping 6'8.
And while that's a profile good enough to see him drafted earlier, his lack of college production saw him fall to the final round - with the Jets already excited about what they have in him.
After signing his contract this past weekend, Kuntz has been training with the team for the first time under head coach Robert Saleh.
Saleh said: "There’s an old saying, ‘Always take the freak that loves ball.’ And if you do, usually they pan out. So, he's got freakish ability and he’s got a love for football, so now we just got to work with him."
General manager Joe Douglas added: "He tested through the roof, so we were sitting there at the top of the seventh round and just going through some of the guys who just had that freak factor to him and he was right there at the top.
"The size, the speed, the length, the jump, just everything and another guy who may have been drafted a little sooner if not for the injury this year."
Kuntz dislocated his patella tendon last season - one of the more difficult injuries to recover from - but it appears he is now back to his athletic best ahead of his rookie season.
In a strong tight end class, Kuntz was expected to be one of the top five players selected at the position, but 13 players were selected over him - being the last tight end to be taken in the draft.
Speaking on being drafted in the seventh, he said: "There’s a chip on my shoulder. I sat there with my family and I counted every single guy.
"In my position right now, I’m given a great opportunity and at this point, it’s in my hands what I do with that. I’m certainly going to maximize it."
