Brevyn Spann-Ford

Cowboys sign Minnesota TE Brevyn Spann-Ford.

After redshirting his first season at Minnesota in 2018, Spann-Ford (6’7/260) caught five passes over his next two seasons. He rotated into the starter role during the 2021 season, starting all 24 of his games in his last two seasons. Spann-Ford finished his six years at Minnesota with a 25-239-2 line for the 2023 season. Though he struggles with drops and physicality, Spann-Ford’s size can allow him to be a mismatch in the passing game. Similarly, he can be a big blocker for the run game. His combine numbers show a subpar athletic profile, running a 4.77 40-yard dash and jumping a 31.5-inch vertical, both bottom-two among participating tight ends. Spann-Ford’s size will be an asset at the NFL level, though he will need to get more physical to make up for a lack of athleticism.
