Who picked Bowling Green TE Harold Fannin in the NFL draft?
Who picked Bowling Green TE Harold Fannin in the NFL draft? The Cleveland Browns selected Bowling Green tight end Harold Fannin with the 67th overall pick in the third round of NFL draft on Friday night. Fannin (6-3, 241 pounds) was a big target at Bowling Green, where he played three seasons. In a deep tight end class, Fannin is from a non-Power 4 conference, a rarity in this draft and in the NIL era of collegiate sports. In 2022-23, Fannin caught 63 passes for 904 yards and seven touchdowns. He also added 24 rushing attempts for 94 yards and four touchdowns. Fannin had a breakout 2024 season, when he caught a MAC conference-topping 117 passes for 1,555 yards and 10 touchdowns. He added nine rushes for 65 yards and one touchdown. His season netted him 2024 Consensus All-American honors, 2024 MAC Player of the Year and the MAC's MVP award. Fannin participated in the 2025 NFL combine, where he posted a 4.71 40-yard dash, 34-inch vertical jump, and a 9-foot 10-inch broad jump. Fannin is a projected third or fourth-round pick in the NFL draft, according to Lance Zierlein, but is rated the seventh-best tight end according to Draft Wire's Curt Popejoy. Fannin would provide an enticing target for any quarterback, or any offense in the NFL.
