GunnarHelm is the #Titans highest-drafted TE since #JonnuSmith was taken 100th overall in the 3rd round of the 2017 #NFLDraft — and expectations are high. Helm enters the NFL as a versatile, reliable weapon who profiles primarily as an inline tight end but brings the athleticism and hands to line up across formations. While he’ll need to develop further as a blocker to reach his full potential, his work ethic is already turning heads.

\#GunnarHelm is the #Titans highest-drafted TE since #JonnuSmith was taken 100th overall in the 3rd round of the 2017 #NFLDraft — and expectations are high. Helm enters the NFL as a versatile, reliable weapon who profiles primarily as an inline tight end but brings the athleticism and hands to line up across formations. While he’ll need to develop further as a blocker to reach his full potential, his work ethic is already turning heads.Helm has reportedly made a strong impression at OTAs, not only with his performance but with his dedication. He’s been showing up at 5 a.m. alongside #CamWard and the other rookie skill players to study film — a sign of his commitment to mastering the playbook and his role.

At Texas, Helm posted elite efficiency numbers, reeling in 54 catches on 64 targets for an 84% catch rate — the highest among all qualifying FBS tight ends in 2024. When the Longhorns needed a play, Helm stepped up.

With a promising blend of size, football IQ, and soft hands, Helm has the tools to become a key contributor in the Titans’ offense. If his blocking improves, Tennessee may have found a long-term answer at TE.
