Patriots reportedly hosted rising TE prospect for top-30 draft visit

Oscar Delp got the chance to visit the New England Patriots’ facility this offseason as one of their favored prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft class.

According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, New England had Georgia tight end Oscar Delp in for a top-30 visit prior to the draft.

Delp recorded 20 receptions for 261 yards and a touchdown in 2025. The 22-year-old averaged no less than 17.7 yards per reception in any of his previous three seasons at Georgia from 2023-25. He has exceptional speed in the open field for a tight end, and his pass protection has also steadily improved.

With Hunter Henry turning 31 years old and Austin Hooper leaving in free agency, the Patriots are expected to make another move at tight end. The team signed veteran blocking tight end Julian Hill in free agency. However, they still have room for another dual-threat option at the position.

Delp joins the list of prospects that the Patriots have in consideration for this year’s draft. The Patriots have the option to host up to 30 prospects at their facility before the draft commences on April 23.
