“Those are big, lofty comparisons, so I’m certainly not saying that he’s those guys yet. But there’s a lot of instincts. He plays with a change of pace when the ball gets in his hands ... When things go off-schedule he shows what a feel he has to find soft spots. … I’m really excited to get him in that tight end room,” McVay elaborated. It’s not clear that Ferguson will have a major role in his first year with the Rams, but with Tyler Higbee heading into the final year of his contract, this sure has the look of a pick that gets handed the starter role in 2026.

Ferguson (6’4/247) went from a part-time player as a freshman and sophomore to a full-time role in 2023, posting a 42/414/6 line. Ferguson earned a larger role in his final season with 43 catches for 591 yards but just three touchdowns. The Ducks abused opposing defenses with Ferguson on play-action looks. He totaled 26 catches, 379 yards, and one score on play-action passes. Ferguson sent his draft stock soaring at the combine. His 4.65 Forty, 10’2” broad jump, and 39” vertical were all above the 90th percentile at the position. He left Indy with a 9.84 RAS. Ferguson needs to show more fight in the run game and at the catch point. He’s an adequate blocker at best and caught just 3-of-12 contested targets in his final season. His production on play action suggests he could start out his career as a pass-catching backup who sees work primarily in 12-personnel looks. The Rams have a deep tight end group as is, with starter Tyler Higbee backed up by Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen. Ferguson is very unlikely to be fantasy-relevant in 2025.

Ferguson left Oregon as the program’s all-time leader among tight ends in receptions and receiving touchdowns. If selected by the Browns, he would join a receiving corps which features David Njoku, who boasted the league’s fifth-highest target share in 2024. Ferguson had the fastest 40 (4.63 seconds) and the highest vertical jump (39”) among tight ends at the combine. PFF graded Ferguson 30th among FBS tight ends last season.
