Houston Tight End, Tanner Koziol gave everyone a reminder why he's a name to know in the class!

Tanner is 6'6 1/2" with 34 1/8" arms and makes some of the best catches in the endzone! Koziol always threatens to moss you, he's a good blocker on the move & his frame can improve! pic.twitter.com/VngdAn9cnd

The Tanner Koziol tape you really want to see. TK finished 25' on a high note, sealing the edge for 6. Improved as a blocker.

He looked great at Senior Bowl practices. And would be a logical Patriots target.
