Stanford's Roush: Packers' 3rd Round Steal

0:00On April 8th, in the unpacking future Packers countdown for the 2026 NFL draft, number 19 is Stanford Titan Sam Roush. This 6 foot 6, 267 pound beast comes from an insane athletic family. Dad played at Duke, mom at Montana State and volleyball. Granddad in the NFL, even a Hall of Famer, great uncle. Born to ball, he wrapped up college with career highs of 49 catches for 545 yards and two scores last season. Roush started on special teams, logging over 500 snaps their lifetime, but grew into a key offensive piece. He posted solid numbers each year, 28 catches as a sophomore, 40 the next top 10 nationally in receiving yards among tight ends, despite shaky QB play. Dude's a physical blocker with rugby roots, stunning defenders and staying latched on. Scouts rave about his reliability. Stanford's beat writer calls him a game changer, with big plays, great leadership, and blocking detail.

1:04He's urgent in routes, tough after the catch with 319 yards last year, and 21st downs on receptions. Hands are good, but could tighten up to make him elite. For Green Bay, Roush fits perfect amid tight end questions. Tucker crafts the star, becoming off that torn ACL. Luke Musgrave hasn't popped like hoped in his contract year, and they need death beyond Josh. While, he'd slide in his craft sidekick, blocking inline, catching chains, and crushing special teams right away. Draft him around pick 84 and round 3, and it's a steel high character, smart, versatile, wide tight end, who just plays winning football. Packers stay stacking talent like this, and that Lombardi trophies back in sight. From around the league, powered by AI, this is NFL News Today. I'm Corey with the story.
