Gesicki — a threatening tight end who put up 105 catches, 1,242 yards and 14 touchdowns the past two seasons — has first-round potential in this year's NFL draft. The stats and measurables back that up.
And so do some mock drafts. The Washington Post's John Harris and Bleacher Report's Mike Tanier have Gesicki being selected by the New Orleans Saints at No. 27 overall. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcons' team site previewed the possibility of Gesicki going a pick earlier, joining Julio Jones, Matt Ryan and company.
"At the end of the day, I've just got to get one team to fall in love with me," Gesicki said.
