NFL Draft: Getting to know Travis Beckum

We looked at many of the players the Giants drafted throughout the course of the weekend. Right now, let's take a closer look at Travis Beckum, the tight end from Wisconsin the Giants drafted in the third round (100th overall).

Tom Coughlin said Sunday that the Giants consider Beckum a potential H-Back type, and the scouting reports indicate that would be the proper use of his talents.

From Draft Countdown.

Is in many ways a wide receiver in a tight ends body...Can also line up out wide or in the slot and is a mismatch waiting to happen...Probably would've gone much higher had he not been hurt as a senior.

Beckum, according to Mocking the Draft, was the top tight end prospect in the nation before breaking his leg last season.

The funniest thing I have read? This gem comes from Rotoworld.

A nice complement to Kevin Boss, one of the best blocking tight ends in the league. Beckum is a vertical threat who can't block a lick, but only fell this far because he broke his leg as a senior.

Did you ever think you would hear Boss referred to as one of the league's best blocking tight ends?

The CBS scouting report said something about Beckum being “hard to coach”. Anybody know what that’s all about?

My favorite pick of the draft

maybe not by far, cuz I really like every single pick and what they do.

But Beckum was an absolute star and UW. All the talk is about that Ingram guy the Eagles drafted, but when both these guys were healthy Beckum was damn near a Heisman candidate. When he got hurt UW sucked.
