    MAX KLARE, TE
    OHIO STATE
    Height: 6’4 3/8″
    Weight: 246 lbs
    Arm: 32 1/8″
    Hand: 9 1/8″
    Wing: 77 7/8″

    PROSPECT ANALYSIS

    Highly athletic, pass-catching tight end capable of earning volume targets on the pro level. Klare can live beyond the typical targeted depth for most tight ends thanks to his route inventory and ability to generate separation across the field. He’s best from the slot but can widen out when a matchup presents itself. Hands and ball-tracking are below average but his production could make teams forget the drops. He improved as a run blocker as the season progressed, but “functional” might be the finish line there. In a league craving impact tight ends, Klare has a chance to inject life into an offense hunting mismatches.

    Is there a name for an offense that uses 0 WRs and 4 Tight Ends?

    The TE room has no future without Terrance Ferguson and Max Klare. Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson are gone after this season.

    He alternated a ton between the slot, backfield, wing and inline at OSU. Swiss Army knife that has an NFL body and modern day skills. Like it.

    An F’ing Tight End. I had to look that up.

    A.I.
    An “F” tight end is a versatile, athletic “move” tight end used primarily for receiving and creating mismatches, often lining up in the slot, as an H-back, or in motion rather than in-line. Often called a “joker” or “chess piece,” they are crucial in modern NFL offenses for their flexibility to run routes like a receiver or block in

    Max Klare is one of those players you can feel trending up, even if the box score didn’t always show it in 2025.

    After breaking out at Purdue, he lands at Ohio State and gets a bit lost in a loaded offensebut the trats still pop.

    Smooth mover, easy speed up the seam, and a natural feel for tracking the football. There’s real fluidity to his game that you can’t teach.

    Still a little raw with the finer details as a route runner, but the flashes are there. You’re betting on the trajectory here.

    i don’t hate the pick. i don’t love it either.

    if they were going to pick a tight end, i wanted it to be sadiq or stowers. when the rams picked simpson, sadiq was obviously out of the question. i was hoping stowers would be there, but he got picked early.

    not a bad pick. and maybe it was just getting lost on that star studded team.

    i think he and ferguson could eventually be a good duo, but they’re very unproven. and like has been mentioned, three of their five tight ends could be gone next year.
