Notre Dame TE Tyler Eifert is seeing his draft stock increase because of his improvement in blocking, according to NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock. ‘I thought that was the biggest difference,’ said Mayock. ‘It was a combination of two things. One, opposing defenses knew what a good pass receiver he was and they did everything in their game plans to take him away. Putting a ton of people on him. On tape, teams were doubling him, combo, all kinds of bracket coverage. To the kid’s credit, he took his blocking to a completely different level. Whether he was in line or in motion, I thought that was the biggest difference in his game.’
