Benjamin Yurosek

A crowded tight end field for the 2023 NFL Draft compelled Yurosek to stick around for another year, and his return will be a definite upgrade to Stanford’s passing game. The tight end earned second-team all-conference honors after a 49-catch, 445-yard campaign last season, and despite the cloudy outlook at quarterback, the 6-4 senior should be a very visible target for whoever ends up taking the full-time job under center. Yurosek may be in line for an even bigger stat line this year, as both Ari Patu and Justin Samson have limited experience and will need a solid security blanket.
