He was first name in ESPN article of standouts from practice. Write up below:
Jelani Woods, TE, Virginia
Where he likely will be drafted: Early Day 3
The 6-foot-6, 259-pound, Woods is a physically imposing player who could have been mistaken for an offensive tackle. He is a bit of a goofy mover, but his coordination takes over when plucking the ball out of the air. He catches the ball well in all areas of the field and also showed savvy as a route runner against both man and zone coverage.
Recruited as a quarterback to Oklahoma State in 2017, Woods started 28 games for the Cowboys, mostly playing as a blocking tight end. He flourished as a pass-catcher in his lone season at Virginia, catching 44 passes for 598 yards and eight touchdowns. He's still figuring out the details of playing tight end, but I expect him to continue to rise in this draft. After watching Woods move around, the player who immediately came to mind was Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox. Both have basketball backgrounds.
