02Scheme fit
Ideal system

West Coast timing system where quarterbacks need reliable intermediate targets, along with a power run game that prioritizes inline blocking.

Y-tight endH-backWing TESlot/flex TE
Best role

Year 1 contributor as an inline blocker and red-zone threat, with the ceiling to develop into a Pro Bowl caliber all-around tight end.

Wrong fit

Spread offense that primarily values pass-catching tight ends and rarely utilizes inline blocking.

Gresham's blend of blocking prowess and receiving ability makes him a scheme-versatile player, but he will shine brightest in offenses that value both aspects of his game.

04The evaluation

Selected #21 overall in Round 1 of the 2010 NFL Draft by Cincinnati Bengals out of Oklahoma.
