Patriots have 5 intriguing options in the 2024 Draft to replace Hunter Henry
By Rhys Knott
Isaac Rex – BYU
Rex is also a pass-catching tight end, first and foremost. And that’s not surprising, given he ran a 4.7 40-yard time. But he is 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 247 lbs., so he’s just 10 lbs. lighter than Henry.
He played as a linebacker and tight end in high school, so he is well-versed when it comes to knowing where the spaces are in zone coverage. But he could use a little more strength to fight his way through contact. It’s easy to build muscle, though; understanding defenses can be trickier.
