Oronde Gadsden

Very good height, frame, and length but lacking some desired mass and strength for in-line blocking. Son of former Miami Dolphin WR Oronde I. Very similar player to his father as a long, fast, well-coordinated receiver. Used primarily in the slot or lined up wide, playing a WR-like role, leaving in-line blocking duties to fellow TE, Dan Villari. Quick and uncovers easily against most LBs and safeties. Very good hands. Tough and willing to work the middle of the field, take the hit, and secures the ball. Typically wins at the catch point. Long strider who eats up ground after the catch. Used as an H-back in some sets and his lack of strength is evident when facing a good pass rusher. Missed most of 2023 season with injury. Dominated during practices and the game at the East-West Shrine Bowl.
