Tanner Arkin

Tanner Arkin projects as an undrafted free agent priority with a narrow path to NFL relevance as a blocking-first tight end in a power run scheme. His defining trait is functional strength and willingness in the trenches, offsetting limited athleticism and receiving upside. Teams seeking a reliable sixth or seventh lineman for heavy personnel packages will find value here, though his lack of separation ability and ball skills severely limit three-level offensive alignment.

The composite grade reflects significant athleticism concerns—limited explosion, narrow catch radius, and poor ability to threaten safeties over the middle—that leave little margin for error in an already crowded position. Arkin's production ceiling is genuine role player depth; any injury or stronger TE class depth chart competition could render him expendable before making an active roster.
