This is Notre Dame Titan Eli Rayordan.

He's got to be one of the best prospects ever with just 48 career receptions.

All of them pretty much happened this last year because he has two ACL terrorists, but despite

that, a really quality athlete, 6 foot 6, 245 pounds, I think with room to grow on top of that.

So we have to grade towards the flashes with Eli Raridon, but I think the flashes were real.

You said just 16 receptions prior to the 2025 season, then had 32 catches for 482 yards. I mean,

average nearly 40 yards a game, which is pretty dang good for a lot of these tight in

prospects to ACLs in one knee in 2021 and 2022, but has played since then. I mean, the thing with him is

he plays nearly every single snap this past season.

641 of 696 team snaps.

And as you said, 22 years of age, 6.6, 245, nearly 11 inch mitts with some really nice linear athletic scores.

Yeah, they used him in the receiving game in a couple of different ways.

You'll see him work down the field on like the scene balls and obviously some of the wheel routes, but they really got him going kind of like the short area, like little quickouts and stuff. You would see that and he would be able to like twist his body around and then kind of show off those big myths. He did have a couple clear drops to him, but you can see him open up and run down the football field on some of these seam balls. And you can see like some of the athleticism. We're talking about 77th percentile 40, 70th percentile in the jump. So he's a quality athlete. He's not a rare athlete. And I think as a receiver, there was, it was interesting me that they kept using him like on third and threes, just get the ball out into space, especially in the red area on top of that.

It's not like back shoulder balls necessarily, but they thought he was like pretty

bursty in the short area, which you typically don't see from tight ends.

I just found that interesting usage from Notre Dame.

I kind of disagree with that usage in terms of what he's going to do in the NFL.

Like I think his entire game is built between the hashes.

That's what it's going to be in the league.

Like he's a tall target, like you said, down the seam.

He can use an arm to ward off either linebackers or safeties in trail technique.

At the same time, though, because of his, I would say lack of wiggle, uh, offensive pass interference, Mike had caught on him once or twice or seven times. There was a huge one in main coverage against Boise State, for example, when he fully extended. And I'll add that I thought he had literally no threat with the ball in his hands. Like I thought he was straight up stiff in that area. Like no jukes, no wiggle. And he's one of these athletes where, and this is where we're at in 2026, where he does what he was very good at at the NFL combine in terms of like the straight line athleticism, 4, 62, then 1 6-yard split, which is faster than a bunch of the wide receivers
