INDIANAPOLIS — Isaac Nauta looked at T.J. Hockenson on the riser to his right, then at Irv Smith on the riser to his left.
“Yeah,” Nauta said Friday at the NFL combine. “There’s a lot of dudes on this stage for sure.”
Hockenson, Smith and Nauta are three “dudes” in a loaded class of tight ends that could yield as many as three first-round picks and should provide depth well into Day 3 of April’s draft.
