Former Tar Heel tight end Bryson Nesbit finds the end zone in NFL Preseason action

It came as quite a shock when former UNC football program standout and receiving-tight end extraordinaire Bryson Nesbit didn't hear his name called during the 2025 NFL Draft. Nesbit had been a consistent force in North Carolina's offense during his four years in Chapel Hill, totaling 107 catches and 13 touchdowns in an offense that widely shared the rock at the tight end position.

What's not surprising is that Nesbit is doing his thing as he fights to make an NFL roster. Last night, he caught an excellent touchdown for the Minnesota Vikings in their preseason game against the Tennessee Titans.
