It seems like every year during the NFL Draft, the media falls in love with a hybrid tight end/fullback.
Wesco, at 6’3″ and 267 pounds, does not have the ideal size for a receiving-first tight end in the NFL. His senior year at West Virginia, he had 26 receptions for 366 yards, making him a “one-year wonder.”
At the time, GM Mike Maccagnan and HC Adam Gase desired Wesco to serve as the team’s second-string blocking tight end behind Chris Herndon.
Trevon WescoAfter two years, Wesco’s offensive contributions have been negligible at best. The ex-Mountaineer played in 28 games (five as a starter) and had three catches for 52 yards and two carries for two yards.
On special teams, he has made an impact as well, with two tackles and a fumble recovery to his name.
Now, it’s true that the Maccagnan drafts weren’t exactly lauded for their middle-round selections. The entrance of Joe Douglas and his desire to purge the ranks means that they won’t even be able to finish out their rookie contracts.
Wesco has had a lackluster showing thus far, but he has an opportunity to rewrite his story.
