FitzPatrick

The move comes as Luke Musgrave continues to struggle through an ankle injury that has limited him for weeks. Musgrave, who has five receptions on the season, could be on his way to an extended absence with the FitzPatrick signing. Tucker Kraft is locked in as the Green Bay TE1. Kraft has ten catches for 141 yards and three scores over his past two games.

FitzPatrick (6'7/262) only caught 17 passes in total during his four years with Georgia, finishing with 200 career yards and a single touchdown. He was not invited to the Combine, and he did not work out at his Pro Day due to broken bones in his feet that he played through for much of the 2021 season - he had surgery to repair the stress fractures after the season ended. It is unlikely FitzPatrick ever makes any noise as a fantasy player, especially now that he’s stuck behind Kyle Pitts.

FitzPatrick was a strong performer at the Rivals 3 Stripe Camp in Atlanta earlier this offseason. Rivals analysts Josh Helmholdt and Woody Wommack note that the 6-foot-6, 232-pounder was “hurdling linebackers, making catch after catch and he showed he is much more than just an inline blocker” during his camp showing. FitzPatrick ranks as the outlet’s No. 216 overall prospect in the 2018 cycle.

“He was a go-to guy and he did have one drop, but his hands were a strength much of the time. He has real potential,” passed along the Rivals staff. FitzPatrick ranks as the outlet’s No. 216 overall prospect in the 2018 class. The 6-foot-6, 232-pounder has done a nice job on the camp circuit this offseason, as he also made his mark at the Rivals 3 Stripe Camp in Atlanta.

FitzPatrick (6'6/232) made his presence felt at the Rivals 3 Stripe Camp in Atlanta earlier this offseason, with the title outlet referring to him as a “go-to guy” and noting that “his hands were a strength much of the time.” On Rivals’ 2018 master list, FitzPatrick ranks as the No. 216 overall prospect for the cycle. Bulldogs HC Kirby Smart has shown a knack for scooping up intriguing tight ends during his year-plus at the helm in Athens, as sophomore TE Isaac Nauta is already looking like a potential rock star.
