Brevyn Spann-Ford could have had a better season in 2023. He experienced a decline in his performance regarding receptions, yards, and average yards per catch. Although one of the reasons behind this was the inefficiency of Minnesota’s passing game, Spann-Ford himself is also to be blamed for it. He struggled to catch the ball throughout the season and took a step back overall. Spann-Ford can’t be evaluated exclusively based on the 2023 film; he would go undrafted, so his 2022 film was used here. His peer comparison statistics below are from 2022; otherwise, they would be near the bottom across the board.
NFL Comparison: Josh Oliver
Teams With Need At Position: Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, Washington Commanders, Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins
Projection: Round 6
Although NFL scouts might doubt his catching ability, his massive size of 6-foot-6 and 270 pounds is not a concern. He uses his size to his advantage in the mid-range passing game and can overpower defenders once he has the ball. In addition, he is an aggressive blocker, but he needs to improve his technique in this area to avoid falling off blocks frequently. Brevyn Spann-Ford will provide good value to a team as a blocker. He has the size coaches can’t teach at the tight end position and is an experienced player entering the league. He was athletic enough to showcase some nice hands and an impressive catch radius, but his ceiling as a receiver was limited. Spann-Ford is meant to block at the next level.
