steeleagle 2,945 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I saw one report that Malik Dunbar was invited to try out at TE with the Baltimore Ravens? Can anyone confirm this? I remember some of us making comments on this board the last couple of years that Dunbar had a good physique for a athletic TE. We thought he should have tried out with the Tiger football team going into his last year here... I just can't see him making it...given he has never played the position, even in HS, I think...but I am intrigued if he does give it go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar is fast and has great hops if he can learn route running and can catch he just might make it. It is worth a shot. More Power to him.

Effort wise, I never questioned him. Seems like a good teammate and likable guy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many basketball players have tried Tony G’s path. Blocking is usually the biggest obstacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,826 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Jimmy Graham isn't much of a blocker so maybe he can be of that mold. He certainly is bouncy like Jimmy was at Miami on the hardwood, but Malik is a much smoother athlete it feels like. Might be recency bias though.

GwillMac6 20,677 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Besides the ones who have been mentioned in here ( Jimmy G and Tony G) Julius Thomas, Rico Gathers, Antonio Gates and Darren Fells all were College basketball players by trade who went on to become NFL Tight Ends. It would be amazing if Malik became a stud TE. It expands BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE recruiting pitch even further!!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,066 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 If he can catch he'd make alot of money. Julius peppers is my favorite two sport star....I don't know if Terrell Owens played officially for Chattanooga. I think he may have though. I always wondered why you don't see more guys go from basketball to D end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
