Steelers Believe Best Football Still To Come For TE Zach Gentry

Zach Gentry might not be much of an NFL tight end right this second but Kevin Colbert is confident there’s ample room to grow. Joining Pat Kirwan on Sirius Radio to recap his draft class, Colbert believed Gentry’s future is bright.

“Gentry is a lot like Justin Layne,” Colbert said. “He’s still learning the position. He was recruited there as a quarterback. Played a little receiver his freshman year and then they quickly made the transition to try and make him a tight end. He grew, he’s 6’8, he’s probably right around 255.
