Jets 1st Round Pick (30): Welcome TE/WR Dustin Keller!

[treiz]

Keller's an excellent pick for the Jets and gives them both a guy with some serious upside AND someone that fits the needs of this team given their quarterback options.

Keller is the biggest gamebreaking TE in this draft and is able to create separation after a catch against the safeties and linebackers that he'll likely be seeing coverage from.

Has great hands and is an excellent red zone player to go with being one tough assed guy.

With his great athletic ability I think the Jets are expecting him to fill out somemore and be more of a force blocking though obviously catching the ball and than creating something out of it will be his bread and butter.

That's another thing that got me exited about him. He's R.A.C. is just simply amazing.

i read fftoolbox.com analysis on this guy... they say may be the best athlete in the entire draft...

Dustin Keller dominated the other tight ends at the NFL Combine. Keller ran a 4.55 40 yard dash -- fastest among all the tight ends. He also had the best vertical leap, 20 yard shuttle time, and broad jump of all his competition. Keller is small for a tight end, but his 26 reps on the bench press show he has the upper body strength to be an adequate blocker in the NFL.

Dustin Keller continues to amaze. The Purdue University tight end might be the most athletic prospect in the whole draft. Keller could have sat on his stellar combine numbers, but instead came out at Purdue's pro day and upped his vertical leap to 41 inches. He also ran the short shuttle 3.94 seconds. Keller has solidified himself as one of the top two tight ends in this class. Keller could be taken anywhere from the end of the first round to the middle of round two.

Yeah and that's the great thing. He even ran faster than many wideouts did (like Manningham at the combine, Malcom Kelly for example). This guy is a WR in a TE's body...
