Risk Flags
4- Draft Capital
Kitselman went undrafted in the 2026 class and signed with Detroit as a UDFA, the lowest possible acquisition cost — NFL teams attach almost no developmental priority to undrafted blocking tight ends.
- Target Competition
He lands behind entrenched every-down stud Sam LaPorta plus blocking specialist Brock Wright in Detroit, leaving essentially zero receiving opportunity on a TE depth chart with no opening.
- Receiving Profile
A 4.90 combine 40 (slowest TE in the class) and five drops in 2025 cap his receiving ceiling; he profiles as an in-line/move blocker, not a fantasy pass-catcher.
- Usage & Volume
Just 48 catches for 554 yards over two SEC seasons, with production dipping to 26-253 in 2025 plus a late-season knee injury, signals a limited receiving floor.
