It took 12 games for Jack Velling to score his first touchdown at Michigan State in the Spartans' 2024 finale. The tight end found the end zone much quicker in his initial foray into the NFL.
Velling on Friday grabbed a 3-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Cooper Rush to help their Atlanta Falcons to a 17-12 win over the Miami Dolphins in NFL preseason play. That was one of four receptions Velling had on the day, as the undrafted free agent finished with 30 receiving yards.
Take a look at Velling's scoring catch from Rush – a Lansing Catholic and Central Michigan product – in the video below:
