Jacob Gibbs called Gunner Helm the most overlooked tight end in a deep class and a plug‑and‑play red‑zone threat for any team willing to spend a late pick. Helm ran a 4.86 forty on a badly rolled ankle—he finished every combine drill despite posting an Instagram photo of a softball‑sized bruise—so Gibbs refuses to ding the athletic profile until he tests healthy. On film, Helm led Texas in receptions and finished second in receiving yards behind only future first‑rounder Matthew Golden while competing with Xavier Worthy, A.D. Mitchell and Jonathan Brooks. His 1.16 yards per route run looks mediocre until you add the context of those NFL‑caliber teammates and Quinn Ewers’ scatter‑shot accuracy. Gibbs praised Helm’s "alpha" mentality, noting he consistently bailed Ewers out on broken plays, high‑pointed contested balls, and forced Alabama transfer Amari Niblack to the bench. Gibbs believes Helm is already ahead of Noah Gray as an NFL‑ready inline option and would celebrate if Kansas City—or any TE‑needy offense—spent a fourth‑round pick on him. Dynasty managers should treat him as a free square stash with immediate touchdown equity.
