Beau Sandland

Ht.: 6-4. Wt.: 253.

Position: Tight end

College: Montana State

What he offers: He’s primarily a pass-catching tight end. He caught 37 passes for 632 yards and nine touchdowns last season.

Worth mentioning: Sandland put up 32 reps of 225 pounds at the combine, which tied for second-most among all tight ends.

Bet you didn’t know: His family owns thousands of acres of land in Simi Valley, Calif. His ancestors came from England in 1880 and the land has been passed down through the generations.

What they’re saying: “With an ability to challenge down the field and separate underneath, Sandland has a chance to work his way onto a roster and into some snaps by his second season.” NFL.com
