TE Jared Pinkney, Vanderbilt
Jared Pinkney is in the mold of a traditional tight end. He can play inline and is a capable and willing blocker. Pinkney measured in at 6’4” and weighed 254 pounds. His 10 5/8” hands topped the group of tight ends at the Senior Bowl this year.
Pinkney didn’t see a lot of production throughout his four-year career at Vanderbilt. In his senior season, he managed just 20 catches, 233 yards, and 2 touchdowns in 8 games. However, Pinkney possesses a solid set of hands as a receiver, and is an established run blocker.
With an aging Vance McDonald and Nick Vannett no longer under contract, the Steelers need some help at tight end, and Pinkney fits the bill of what they typically look for in the position.
