        Bills Add Blocking TE Jackson Hawes

        By Shane Hallam | Updated on Sat, Apr 26 2025 7:41 PM UTC

        The Rams selected Georgia Tech TE Jackson Hawes in Round 5 of the 2025 NFL Draft. Hawes totaled only 51 catches over six college seasons – five at Yale and one at Georgia Tech. Primarily a blocker, he ran a route on just 38% of his career snaps and averaged an ugly 0.77 yards per route. Hawes did tally a career-best 1.01 yards per route at Georgia Tech last year – but that still ranked 20th among 21 TEs at the Combine. There are flashes of contested-catch skills on Hawes’ tape, but he’s ultimately a longshot to get enough pass-catching work as a pro to be a fantasy factor.

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        Hawes adds a blocking element to the Bills offense, but will clearly be behind TEs Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox.

        He is unlikely to add any pass catching upside, especially short-term.

        Dynasty Impact

        Hawes doesn't offer much dynasty upside with his lack of pass catching consistency.

        He did flash some soft hands at Georgia Tech this year, but his profile leads to a blocking TE mainly.

        With a crowded TE room, the Bills clearly wanted more depth to help block for QB Josh Allen and RB James Cook

        Hawes is not viable as a rookie pick or even worth picking up for a dynasty taxi squad.
