Luke Musgrave is a highly intelligent, extremely athletic tight end who has a history of injuries that have limited his production in the college ranks. He's everything a team would want him to be coming out as a receiver except he needs a little refinement in his route running. Outside of that, he's a true matchup nightmare that teams will have trouble covering. His injury history and lack of blocking ability really hinder his draftability, though.

Musgrave compares well with Greg Olsen as a receiving tight end who might be limited at best as a blocker, but he has the willingness to block. He also comes from a football family with his uncle Bill Musgrave being a long-time NFL quarterback coach. The Falcons could wind up really liking Musgrave as a mid-round talent for the offense to give Kyle Pitts some rest throughout the game. However, tight end is still a very unlikely selection for the Falcons in this year's draft.
