While where you land matters, some players just have a knack for rising above it. One of those intriguing players coming out of Georgia in the 2026 NFL Draft would have to be tight end Oscar Delp. Although his wide-ranging skill set often made Dawg Nation smile, some pundits could argue that he was not used enough at Georgia. Regardless, Georgia has become Tight End U for a reason of late.
Delp talked about how his versatility could be exactly what an NFL team needs at this position group.
“I can be put anywhere. I feel like I’m looked at as a blocking tight end. I’m a receiving tight end that learned how to block. I enjoy it. I feel in love with blocking. I mean, who doesn’t like over-powering another man against his will?”
Delp projects to be a mid-round selection out of Georgia, likely going in the early part of day three.

If Delp goes to the right situation for himself, he could achieve even more than he ever did at Georgia.
Oscar Delp makes his case for why NFL teams should be higher on him
Harkening back to what Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta had to say about Georgia players earlier at the NFL Combine, Kirby Smart has built up a program that gets all of its guys ready for the next level. His players are hungry, coachable, and above all, talented. Delp epitomizes that. The real question is when does all the awesome potential of Delp finally blossom into something tangible?
At this time, Delp seems to be one of those players who will win teams over during the interview process. There may be questions about his productivity while at Georgia, as well as potentially the medicals... However, it would not be shocking for everyone who has been his teammate, past or present, to totally vouch for him. Delp was the ultimate team player while he was playing at Georgia.
Overall, Delp has an outside shot of going in day two, but let's not count on it. Of course, he is going to get drafted. There have been far worse tight ends coming out of Georgia in recent years who have heard their names called. That being said, Delp provides one of the most interesting cases of Georgia tight end turning pro. The last tight end we felt similarly about had to have been Darnell Washington.
For now, Delp has to be patient, trust himself, and hope that he goes to a well-run team like Baltimore.
