BIOGRAPHY: Full-time starter the past three seasons after seeing action with the first team as a freshman. Senior-year receiving totals included 7/79/2. Career-high totals of 27/312 came as a sophomore.

POSITIVES: King-sized tight end best as a blocker. Quick off the snap, fluid releasing into routes, and extends to make the reception away from his frame. Blocks with good pad level and knee-bend and strong at the point. Uses his frame to shield opponents away from the ball or to seal them from the action as a blocker. Effectively adjusts in pass protection and removes opponents from the point of attack.

NEGATIVES: Possesses marginal speed and only effective as a short-range target in the passing game. Needs to pick up his overall intensity.

ANALYSIS: Kasparek has the size and growth potential to be one of the better blocking tight ends in the draft, yet he has not shown consistent toughness in his game and has not been productive enough to be anything other than a camp body.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
