‘Smooth’ Florida tight end DeAndre Goolsby getting NFL notice

As fans’ eyes focus on wide receiver Antonio Callaway, NFL scouts also will be watching another Florida pass-catcher in 2017.

NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein named Gators senior DeAndre Goolsby as one of his tight ends to watch for the coming season. The list doesn’t necessarily attempt to rank the best athletes at a position, but notes players who are getting the attention of personnel evaluators around the NFL.

Zierlein described Goolsby (6 feet 4, 244 pounds) as a “very natural athlete with easy, smooth movement skills.” He has work to do as a blocker, but his receiving skills stand out during this pass-happy phase of football.
