It's not hyperbole to say that a few of the names that we'll talk about today could define, could define the entire Fantasy Football season. A whole new wave of tight ends is among us. Hayden, they are taking over the league. Out, the Unks and Travis Kelsey and Mark Andrews. In, fresh blood, new blood. And as you said prior to us hitting record, this is an awesome group of second year tight ends.

**Hayden Winks** (1:04)
Yeah, it kicks ass. There's some potential absolute superstars at the top, and then even that next cohort of players. I think are going to be really quality role players with a chance to kind of blossom. Maybe not necessarily this year. There's some guys that are getting in the way, but long term there can be some real receiving weapons out there. And you mentioned Kelsey, I think one of the guys at the very top really reminds me of Travis Kelsey, which is insane to say, but I think he's here to come.

This is breakouts week. We've already talked about the quarterbacks, which was an also fascinating group. We have running backs and wide receivers either already up on the channel that you can watch right now or coming here in the next few days. This is the time for all of you to get ahead in your fantasy leagues and the best way of doing that, totally free. Hit that subscribe button and tune in to the show the rest of the summer. Now, many of you are also going to say that two of the 10 most productive rookie seasons at Titan means that these players have already broken out. That doesn't even include the Titan one that's being drafted from this class in your drafts right now.
But I also think there's a tick that these players can even reach even more than they could out during their rookie year. So we're going to include all the names, all of them here in this second year Titan breakout show and we'll kick things off with Colston Loveland, who already being selected as the Titan three in the NFL right now, the 10th pick of the fourth round. What did you see when reviewing his rookie take?

**Hayden Winks** (2:23)
I think Colston Loveland is on pace to be an all pro player. I think that he is easily the best Titan in this draft class. He's the one that reminds me of Travis Kelsey as a receiver and I will not discredit what he does as a run blocker, which is to me very underrated. He can play the inline stuff. They have Col Comet as the other Titan here. They're going to have a third blocking Titan. Colston Loveland moves like a wide receiver and that's what makes him so special. He's fast. There was moments against, it was Quay Walker on an outroute. Just runs right by him in man coverage. Kyle Dugger in cut right by him. Kyle Dugger is one of the most athletic safeties out there. Same thing with Quay Walker at linebacker. He'll run down the scene, catch passes. He'll charge after the catch wise, bouncing off, bangles defenders for long touchdowns.
And then I also think that he can get in and out of his breaks with that wiggle that we see with Travis Kelsey. I thought he had a really good connection with Caleb Williams in the scramble drill. There was one play where it was off sides. He knew that, okay, now I'm going to run my downfield route. Caleb Williams is running to the right. He breaks off his route, goes back to the right side for a long touchdown on top of that. I was trying to find negative notes on the Colston Loveland film and I really couldn't find them. And once he started playing in the back half of the year, he was the Bears best skill player. I'm expecting that to be the case. Colston Loveland is too cheap. Every single time he's in the fourth round, I want to draft him.

**Josh Norris** (3:44)
As you said, he was really eased into the lineup until about week seven and then from week seven to 17, he was the tight end six in points per game. And he was our tight end one heading into last NFL draft despite so much conversation being around Tyler Warren. And it's because he makes you so multiple and versatile on offense. I mean, he gives you a numbers advantage on any given snap. And that means you can go, you know, gun four wide with him and empty also.
