A versatile, athletic tight end, Eifert is scheme-agnostic and projects as an immediate starter in any offense, from Air Raid to West Coast.
Year 1 impact starter as a primary receiving TE, with the ceiling of a Pro Bowl caliber offensive weapon.
Any system that pigeonholes him strictly as an inline blocking tight end, as it negates his primary strength.
Eifert's athleticism, size, and receiving ability make him a perfect fit for a modern NFL offense that values tight end production, capable of lining up anywhere.
Selected #21 overall in Round 1 of the 2013 NFL Draft by Cincinnati Bengals out of Notre Dame.
