USFL Player Rankings: Tight Ends

The initial big board for the 2022 USFL has officially arrived! Only at NFL Draft Bible, celebrating two decades of independent scouting (2002 – 2022).

Our USFL scouting preview rolls along, as we count you down to the season kick off this Saturday, April 16th. The league acquired a deep talent pool of tight end prospects, many of whom possess previous NFL experience.

Some of the more notable players included mammoth tight end Connor Davis (Stony Brook), who spent parts of the 2021 season with the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns, after stints in the AAF and XFL. Another name familiar to alternate football fans would be journeyman Nick Truesdell, who also enjoyed a tour of duty in the AAF/XFL between pit-stops at the Indianapolis Colts, Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets. One player who continues to pursue his NFL dream is former Arkansas tight end CJ O’Grady, who latched on with the Cincinnati Bengals last season after a workout at HUB Football CAMP. All three of these young men own NFL traits.

Every organization is always keeping a looking for the next big-play receiving threat at the tight end position and the USFL has a handful of developmental candidates in that department too. Former Wake Forest wide receiver Sage Surrat who spent the 2021 season on the Detroit Lions practice squad, is attempting the position change, while Cary Angeline (North Carolina State) has flashed potential during his time in college and the pros.

We will continue to update our USFL player rankings throughout the season, so be sure to bookmark our USFL homepage!
