As the 2023 NFL draft nears, college pro days are happening, as prospects are making their final impressions in front of teams.
Chargers tight ends coach Kevin Koger attended Utah’s pro day this past week, according to Pro Football Focus’ Tony Pauline.
Koger was in Salt Lake City, Utah, to check out TE Dalton Kincaid. However, Kincaid was a non-participant after suffering a minor fracture in his back late last season, which also prevented him from working out at the combine.
Kincaid has been pegged as a top target for Los Angeles throughout the draft cycle, given their need to address the position as they search for a bonafide No. 1 tight end for the first time since Hunter Henry.
Kincaid is a prolific receiver with great hands who can win all over the field with his athleticism and play speed and can create yards after the catch, projecting as a passing game playmaker for offensive coordinator Kellen Moore from Day 1.
Kincaid amassed 103 receptions for 1375 yards and 16 touchdowns in his four years as a starter for the Utes, with his best season coming in 2022. He racked up an impressive 890 yards on 70 catches. Additionally, Kincaid had the lowest drop rate percentage among TEs (2.8%).
If the Chargers feel that his back injury won’t be an issue, Kincaid could be in consideration with they’re on the clock with the No. 21 overall selection.
