Dawson Knox 2019 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dawson Knox has progressed from walk-on at Ole Miss to late riser in the draft process, and has done so without a great deal of production for the Rebels. Scarcely used in an overly-simplistic Ole Miss passing game, Knox is a player who doesn’t even look to have scratched the surface of what he can do as a receiver.<\/p>\n

What his limited reps as a pass-catcher did show, however, was a tight end with dependable hands who can stretch the field and gain a step on linebackers and safeties.<\/p>\n

Impressive athletic testing numbers are a reason for even greater intrigue and, though Knox has some way to go in terms of learning a full route tree, it is not hard to envision him developing into a difference maker as a receiver and as a blocker.<\/p>\n
