Rudolph, Kyle Notre Dame 6061 258 4.77
Junior entry. Started 18 games in career. Injured his right
hamstring in preseason camp and played at about 75% through
6 games. In the sixth game against Pittsburgh, he tore the
hamstring off the bone then underwent surgery. In the second
game of the year, Rudolph went 95 yards for a touchdown
against Michigan. The huge red zone target lined up in the slot
at “x” (split end) as well as tight end. A natural hand catcher
who will reach and extend for the ball. Used on fade patterns in
the end zone as a mismatch on smaller corners. As a high school
basketball player he had over 600 rebounds in his career. Gets
the ball at the high point. Excellent concentration and reaction
to the ball. Catches the ball above the crowd. Competitive for
the ball in traffic or over the middle. A three layer tight end who
catches the short hide routes in the flat, middle seam routes, or
split cover-two deep down the middle. Fights for the yards after
the catch. Solid inline run blocker with good upper and lower
body strength. Good balance and knee bend in pass protection.
Stays square. Light feet. Works to finish. Takes good angles and
can adjust on the run in space. Stays on his feet. Comes off hard
on his release. Fluid in his patterns with good body control. Can
get open horizontally and vertically. Will drive and sustain.
Productive and willing.
