Going into 2016, the Pittsburgh Steelers seemed to have the tight end they wanted in Ladarius Green. He only played five games and his future is up in the air due to medical concerns. While Jeremy Sprinkle is not similar to Green at all, he could still be an option for the Steelers.
Jeremy Sprinkle, TE, Arkansas
6’5″ 252 pounds
Key Combine Stats: 4.69 forty, 29″ vertical
2016 Stats: 33 receptions, 380 yards, 4 TDs
What’s to Like: Sprinkle is a big man who could probably handle a few more pounds on his frame… 34 1/2″ arms give him a great span with which to go up and get balls… Extremely willing blocker… Solid technique; constantly gets his tail turned to prevent defender from getting to the ball… Capable pass blocker… Very good hands… Surprisingly nimble tight end who can make guys miss and can shed tacklers as well.
