I have actually seen suggestions that he is a practice squad candidate while he continues to develop.

I completely disagree with Zierlin, who you must have read.  He runs a 4.55 forty, has a 40" vertical (at 6'7") and despite crazy long arms, he benched 225 lbs 23 times.  This guy has New England Patriot written all over him.  He will go much earlier than Zierlin suggested.

I have a contact at ODU and they absolutely love this guy.  He is just raw and hasn't played a lot, but I also see that as that he hasn't taken the shots that many of the college TEs have and he will be healthy.

There have not been many athletes with his speed and size ratio.  He is .11 seconds slower than Kyle Pitts ran at his Pro Day, but is an inch taller and has a higher vertical.  If Kuntz had attended some combine training facility like a lot of the top picks do, he might have been clocked even faster.
