Koziol is a tall drink of water. His thinner frame doesn't impact him from a physicality standpoint. He's a dependable blocker in both the run and passing games. Koziol can set the edge, operate as a lead pulling blocker, and hold up with strong hands and good anchor in pass protection. Koziol has smooth hips and good bend in his routes. He uncovers quickly and is physical through his routes. He has soft, dependable hands and is a ball winner at the catch point. He concludes college with a 2.6% drop rate in his final season and a 61.3% contested catch rate overall. His biggest limiting factor as a player, as far as ceiling goes, is that he isn't an explosive mover. He doesn't have the raw speed or explosive lateral agility to line up on the perimeter or be asked to operate as a man coverage beater. He'll be at his best against zone coverage and linebackers/nickels in coverage. Koziol isn't a rugged RAC player. He can generate YAC, but his lanky size allows him to get cut down by defenders easily. He forced only two missed tackles in his final collegiate season. Dynasty Outlook: Koziol's analytical profile is better than his fifth-round NFL draft capital that landed him with the Jaguars. He profiles as the receiving part of the tandem that Jacksonville drafted this year while selecting Nate Boerkircher (round 2). I'll draft Koziol in the fourth round of rookie drafts where I'm thin at tight end. Brenton Srange is a free agent after the 2026 season. Koziol could compete for the starting job in 2027.
