I think if he sees the field on offense in the NFL it will be lining up at the QB position! (Tush push specialist)
It is wild to me that a dude with a college football history like his is even getting a look for the NFL.
He began his career at a JUCO in which he never saw the field. Then he came to UW where he basically sat for two seasons before having one of the worst seasons at QB that I have ever witnessed. Then he switched position to TE where he caught a total of 11 passes for 92 yards for the entire season.
And yet here he is getting called in for a workout with the Denver Broncos this week. Based on what? His size and athleticism? There are probably 3-4 guys at my local gym who fit this mold if NFL teams are really that desperate. I just don't get it.
I don't see any advantage Svoboda would be to an NFL team. Please give me your thoughts. I think the old bald coach may call some teams and offer a glowing opinion, but videos of his performance won't pass an eye test. IMO
I agree with you on this, but the Denver Broncos have called him for a workout this week. Apparently, his athleticism combined with his size is enough to entice NFL teams to think he could be a benefit?

You can't coach size. There are some examples of players getting a roster spot despite not playing college at all. Antonio Gates is the most famous example of this. Jimmy Graham played a year at Miami at TE, catching 17 passes. Derek Cooke got a look from the Dolphins because of his size and athleticism.

It’s simple with Svoboda why he would get a look. It comes down to roster size numbers. He can be your third string tight end, special teamer and tush push specialist all with only taking up a single roster spot. So instead of 3 guys, you can have 1 guy and use the other roster spots elsewhere.

Antonio Gates was also an All-American basketball player who averaged 20-7-4 for a mid major. Lets not insult the man by comparing him to Evan Svoboda. Lol.
