Kenny Yeboah, a tight end newly signed by the Detroit Lions, is often overlooked as a serious contender for the TE3 position heading into the 2025 season. Despite his time with the New York Jets, Yeboah has only managed to catch nine passes over four years. His college career at Ole Miss was highlighted by a notable spike in receptions, yet he remains primarily a run-blocking tight end.
With the Lions focused on special teams for their TE3 role, Yeboah’s proficiency in that area could give him an edge. Competing against established athletes like Shane Zylstra and rookie Zach Horton, his ability to contribute on special teams might just secure his spot on the roster.
