NFL Draft 2018: Will Dissly Selected by the Seahawks

Former Washington Huskies tight end will take his first snaps in the NFL as a member of the Seahawks, after the team selected him with the 20th pick of the fourth round in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Dissly is a tremendously raw tight end prospect, having played the position for just two years after starting his career at Washington as a defensive lineman, but proved his value as a blocker in helping pave the way for Myles Gaskin’s productive sophomore and junior seasons. At 6’4” and 262 lbs., the native of Bozeman, Mont., offers good dimensions for the position, and while he’ll never be a receiving tight end in the mold of Rob Gronkowski or Jimmy Graham, his senior season number (21 catches for 289 yards and two touchdowns) show that he’s not entirely a one-dimensional player in the passing game.
