Keon Zipperer

Zipperer will be part of the tight end duo, along with Kemore Gamble, that has the unenviable task of attempting to replace Kyle Pitts. A generational talent, Pitts averaged 17.9 yards per reception and scored 12 touchdowns last season, paving the way for his selection in the NFL Draft at No. 4, the highest ever for a tight end. Zipperer collected 11 catches for 145 yards and two touchdowns in 2020, while Gamble managed 10 grabs for 160 yards and three scores. The tandem will also have a new quarterback to catch passes from, as Kyle Trask is now in the NFL. Emory Jones is considered more of a dual-threat option, though, so the passing game could suffer a tad as well. Zipperer has some big shoes to fill, and clearly he will not be asked to do so on his own.
