Titans continue bolstering offense with TE Gunnar Helm

The Tennessee Titans selected Texas tight end Gunnar Helm in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, No. 120 overall.

Pre-draft profile

Helm was a breakout star in his final season at Texas with 786 yards and seven touchdowns. His 60 receptions beat out top receivers Matthew Golden and Isaiah Bond for the team lead. Helm is a savvy route-runner who sets up defenders well and shows good short-area quickness out of his breaks to create separation. He also has a feel for finding zones over the middle of the field, and he's shown creativity to pick up yards after the catch. His ability to rise up over defenders and win contested catches is impressive too. Helm's overall athletic profile is a bit of a question mark, though, potentially limiting the ceiling here. A 4.84 40 time at his size sticks out as a negative, but it's worth noting that time was recorded after Helm sprained his ankle on a false start. He could be a solid playmaker if his run blocking improves enough to earn him a regular role.
