Draft Profile: Bio
Jalin Conyers, a 6-foot-4, 270-pound tight end, has completed his transfer to Texas Tech for his final year of college eligibility after a successful career at Arizona State. Originally from Gruver, Texas, Conyers was a highly sought-after recruit, ranked in the top-75 overall prospects by 247Sports coming out of high school.

After initially committing to Oklahoma, Conyers transferred to Arizona State without playing for the Sooners. He thrived with the Sun Devils over three seasons, appearing in 34 games with seven starts. Conyers accumulated 74 receptions for 846 yards and six touchdowns during his time in Tempe. His versatility was on full display in his final season, where he not only excelled as a receiver but also contributed in the Wildcat formation, rushing 22 times for 92 yards and a touchdown.

Conyers' decision to join Texas Tech brings him closer to his roots, with Lubbock just 216 miles from his hometown of Gruver. His performance at Arizona State, including playing alongside future Heisman winner Jayden Daniels, established him as one of the top tight ends in college football. Now with the Red Raiders, Conyers aims to make an immediate impact in the Big 12 conference, bringing his versatile skill set and experience to a program looking to elevate its offensive prowess.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Exceptional athleticism for his size, with the ability to create mismatches against linebackers and safeties
  • Versatile offensive weapon, capable of lining up inline, in the slot, or even as a Wildcat quarterback
  • Demonstrates soft hands and natural receiving skills
  • Impressive on deep routes - able to separate
  • Elusive after the catch, forcing 21 missed tackles in 2022 - the most among FBS tight ends
  • Possesses above-average speed for the position, clocking a 4.68 in the 40-yard dash
  • Shows potential as a red zone threat, highlighted by his three-touchdown performance against Colorado in 2022
  • Multi-sport background contributes to his overall athleticism and body control in tight spaces
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • As a blocker he's surprisingly average considering his size and strength
  • Lacks ideal height for the position
  • Still developing as an inline tight end, may be limited to move tight end role initially
  • Route tree could use refinement, particularly in short and intermediate areas
  • Consistency in production has been an issue, with notable performance fluctuations game-to-game
Scouting Report: Summary
Conyers brings an intriguing skill set to the NFL as a receiving tight end with room for development. His size-speed combination and versatility make him a potential mismatch creator in the passing game. His experience in multiple alignments, including the Wildcat formation, could appeal to creative offensive coordinators.

At the next level, Conyers will need to significantly improve his blocking technique to become a complete tight end. His route running, particularly in short and intermediate areas, also requires refinement. These areas of improvement will be crucial for his transition to the pro game.

Spread offenses that emphasize athleticism from the tight end position could maximize Conyers' strengths early in his career. His ability to stretch the field vertically and create after the catch could make him a valuable weapon in the right system, though his inconsistent production in college raises questions about his ability to be a primary offensive threat immediately.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
