Coming out of high school, Dulcich was a preferred walk-on for UCLA. He played sparingly in his first two years, only appearing in six games. In those half-dozen appearances, Dulcich amassed 121 yards and a touchdown off of nine receptions. Before the 2020 season, UCLA officially offered Dulcich a scholarship and he broke out from there.<\/p>\n<p>In his junior season, he led the Bruins in receiving yards with 517 and touchdowns with five. He did all this with just 26 receptions in the COVID-shortened season that saw UCLA play just seven games. On three occasions, Dulcich led his team in receiving yards in a single game, topping out at a career-best 167 yards in a loss to USC. His efforts earned him Second-Team All-Pac 12 and he used that momentum to have a great 2021. Dulcich finished his career by posting 725 yards and five touchdowns off of just 42 receptions. He recorded two 100+ yard games and earned First-Team All-Pac 12 for his play.<\/p>\n<h3>Strengths<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Good athlete;<\/li>\n<li>High ceiling as it pertains to route-running ability;<\/li>\n<li>Can be relied upon for YAC;<\/li>\n<li>Good hands, can catch the ball over the shoulder and away from his body;<\/li>\n<li>Averaged over 18 yards per reception.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Weaknesses<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Lacks reliable run-blocking strength;<\/li>\n<li>Doesn&#8217;t quite have a quick-twitch ability;<\/li>\n<li>Tends to get stood up and loses leverage in blocking scenarios;<\/li>\n<li>Needs to continue to develop a fuller route tree.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>NFL Comparison<\/strong>: Hayden Hurst<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teams With a Need at Position<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/panthers\/\" target=\"_self\">Carolina Panthers<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/texans\" target=\"_self\">Houston Texans<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/chiefs\" target=\"_self\">Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/chargers\/\" target=\"_self\">Los Angeles Chargers<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/vikings\" target=\"_self\">Minnesota Vikings<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/buccaneers\" target=\"_self\">Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/bengals\/\" target=\"_self\">Cincinnati Bengals<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Projection<\/strong>: Third Round<\/p>\n<h3>Bottom Line on Greg Dulcich<\/h3>\n<p>In a class of athletic tight ends, Dulcich will certainly find a home and carve out a solid NFL career as a receiving threat.
