Wydermyer was one of the best tight ends in the SEC conference for three consecutive years. He was selected to the SEC All-Freshman team during his first season and then followed that up with two consecutive All-SEC selections. He was also chosen as a finalist for the John Mackey Award in each of his last two seasons, which recognizes the best tight end in the country.
#4 - Calvin Turner Jr.
Calvin Turner Jr. is a hybrid player who has played in many different positions in college, including on both offense and defense. He started as a cornerback before switching to the offensive side of the ball, where he spent time as an option quarterback, running back and wide receiver.
A creative NFL offensive coordinator would likely be able to find ways to use Turner in a variety of ways. Even if he doesn't quite work out as an offensive weapon, he's an excellent kick and punt returner, as well, so he could be an NFL special teams player.
