Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Pat Freiermuth
Summary

Max Klare is a high-floor tight end who presents well in the passing game but lacks ideal play strength as a run blocker. He has the tools to start early in his career, though his overall ceiling may fall short of Pro Bowl or All-Pro levels.

About
  • 2025: First team All-Big Ten
  • 2024-2025: Seventh-most receiving yards (1,133) by FBS TE
Strengths
  • Great footwork to reach the second level and engage defenders in space.
  • Does a good job breaking down his feet and leveraging defenders to create separation at the stem.
  • Good burst and elusiveness after the catch.
  • Finds soft spots in zone coverage effectively.
Weaknesses
  • Lacks ideal mass and functional strength to sustain inline blocks.
  • Inconsistent pass catcher throughout his career.
  • Struggles to sustain blocks in open space.
