The Kansas City Chiefs are getting a closer look at the most productive tight end of the 2025 NFL draft class.
Bowling Green State University tight end Harold Fannin Jr. recently revealed to Kay Adams on the Up & Adams Show that he has an upcoming pre-draft visit with four teams, including the Denver Broncos, the Detroit Lions, the Cleveland Browns, and the Chiefs.

Fannin Jr. set 10 FBS records for tight ends during the 2024 college football season, including most receiving yards (1,555), receptions (117), receiving yards per game (119.615), and receptions per game (9). He was also named MVP of the 2024 68 Ventures Bowl after setting records for receiving yards (213) and receptions (17) by a tight end. He became Bowling Green’s first-ever consensus All-American in 2024, setting 21 program records for the Falcons. Despite his historic run of success, Penn State’s Tyler Warren ousted him as the 2024 John Mackey Award winner, denoting college football’s most outstanding tight end.
Fannin Jr. was 6 feet 3 inches and 241 pounds at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, which is on the smaller side for an NFL tight end. He also came in slightly less athletic than expected. He posted 22 repetitions of 225 on the bench press, a 34-inch vertical jump, a 118-inch broad jump, a 4.71s 40-yard dash, a 4.39s short shuttle, and a 6.97s three-cone.
What is a top-30 visit?
A top-30 visit is one of the 30 prospect visits teams are allotted during the pre-draft phase each year.
The Chiefs use these in various ways, hosting players who could be potential first-round picks to those who may not be selected. While there won’t be any on-field workouts, prospects will hold meetings with the coaching staff for film reviews, conduct physical examinations with team doctors, tour the facilities, and generally get a taste of life in the NFL in Kansas City.
