With the 42nd overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins selected Penn State tight end Mike Gesicki. The addition of a 6-foot-6, 245-pound receiving tight end capable of working from inline to outside as a receiver was a dynamic addition to the Dolphins’ offense and should have given quarterback Ryan Tannehill a key weapon in the middle of the field and in the redzone.
However, in 2018, Gesicki recorded just 22 receptions for 202 yards and failed to reach the endzone, something expected to be a big part of his game.
