Justin Joly: NFL's Versatile Tight End

0:00It's March 28, I'm Cory with the story. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI and built for football fans. NC State's Justin Jolie is turning heads as a tight end and H-back prospect, standing just over 6 foot 3 and weighing 241 pounds. He's undersized for the NFL, but packs serious athleticism with quick acceleration and solid speed. Watch him ball out against Virginia, Duke, and North Carolina in 2025. No real red flags there. What stands out is his versatility on offense. Jolie's a polished receiver who runs smart routes, finds soft spots in coverage, and adjust to off-target throws like a pro. Big 10.5-inch hands help him snag passes with just one drop all year. In blocking, he shines on the move, sealing edges on screens and creating numbers advantages with his agility. Fans of my hesitate because of his frame lacks the length and power for heavy inline work against edge rushers.

1:01He's built more like a receiver than a traditional blocker, so he won't fit every scheme, especially in 11 personnel sets. Still, his skills make him a match of nightmare in the intermediate field. Projection has him as an H-back or second tight end in 12 personnel packages where his mobility pops. Drastock could swing from late third round to mid-day 3, depending on the team's needs niche player, not a classic Y-tide end. Giants fans, keep an eye, he could slide into the NFC East somewhere if the values right. Versatile pieces like Jolie keep offenses unpredictable, heading into the draft.
