The Miami Dolphins used their third-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft on Boston College tight end Hunter Long. The Dolphins landed a receiving-threat tight end who can be the all-around guy to perfectly compliment Mike Gesicki and a two tight-end offense. To get a better look at Long, I turned to Curtis Flannery, the football lead at BC Interruption, SB Nation’s Boston College team site, to answer some of my questions.
Long actually led Division I in receptions and receiving yards for a tight end last year, surpassing even Kyle Pitts. Was that a factor of a lack of targets at BC, or is he just that much of a machine catching the ball?
