No. 3: Tight End Hunter Bryant, Washingon

Washington tight end Hunter Bryant is the type of player head coach Kyle Shanahan would love to have at his disposal.

At 6-foot-2 and 239 pounds, Bryant may seem a bit undersized for an NFL-caliber tight end, but his crisp route running, speed in the open field and ability to line up in the slot or even out of the backfield help make him a potential mismatch nightmare for defenses.

His competitiveness on contested throws and ability to adjust to those throws makes him a threat in the middle of the field or in the red zone.

Paired with all-world tight end George Kittle, the duo could wreak havoc on opponents for Shanahan and Co.
