2026 NFL Draft preview: 5 tight ends that could interest Lions

3. Max Klare, Ohio State

6-4, 246. Did not run 40-yard dash

Klare played inline, wing, slot and lined up in the backfield. He caught 94 passes for 1,133 yards and six touchdowns the last two seasons at Purdue and Ohio State. He combines toughness with good ball skills and fits the profile of what teams are looking for at the position in the pass game.

4. Oscar Delp, Georgia

6-5, 245. 4.48 seconds 40-yard dash (1.57 10-yard split) – Pro Day

Delp wasn't a huge part of the Bulldogs' offense the last two seasons but his ceiling is high based off his size, speed and athleticism profile. He plays with physicality in all parts of the game and has a chance to be a more productive professional than he was college player.

5. Michael Trigg, Baylor

6-4, 240. 4.52 seconds 40-yard dash (1.62 10-yard split) - Pro Day

Trigg finished his 2025 senior season at Baylor with 50 catches for 694 yards and six touchdowns, following his transfer from Ole Miss. He's got a huge frame with long arms (34 ¼) and big hands (10 ½). He's got the kind of size and versatility to be a chess piece for an offense, especially in the red zone. He could be a Day 3 steal for a team if they feel comfortable with some of the off-field issues he had in college.
