great job kid!

He's a third year junior, so with Covid ruining last year, even though he played all ten games last year, I hope that Covid rule means he's still got two more years

Can't be easy to put weight on that skinny kid to be a tight end, but man he's putting forth the effort.

I really hope he succeeds at TE. He was a highly recruited WR that just hasn't panned out. 90% of the kids in that situation would have a bad attitude and transfer.

Pittman made a comment when he switched Knox to TE that he could be the best move tight end in college football, which he reiterated in his postgame press conference Saturday. He had some great blocks all game as well as some key catches on the game winning drive.

I love his attitude. Could have given up and transferred, but he let his coaches suggest something different.

He obviously cares about the team, and is doing whatever it takes to help.

spot on

I hope that means he's got two years left


he's listed at 6'5 215

wonder if he could get to 235 next year and 250 the year after

Pittman said postgame that Knox was already up to 225, so he's getting there.

They'd like him to get in the 240-245 range, which will take the off season to do in terms of gaining it the right way.

Agreed, watched the highlights and watched him specifically. He's definitely getting better at blocking. He made a great move on that last drive to get extra yards too. Happy for that dude

If he gets to 247, he will be the same size as Tony Gonzalez which would be perfect.

I’m already looking forward to his eventual enshrinement in to the HOF. Great way to start the morning gents.

It would be great if he does develop into a good TE. We have two highly touted TEs coming in next season but it would be nice to be able to play them behind someone rather than throw them out as first string starters from the get go.

If Knox can get to a good weight and still retain some speed I'd say he has a pretty decent shot of making an NFL team. The more NFL players we send up the better it is for our recruiting.

Knox just didn't have the top end speed to get seperation at WR. He's way faster than a linebacker though.

Careful, the seasoned NFL scouts on this forum will shoot you down with that kind of talk
