As the NFL season approaches, Minnesota Vikings tight end Johnny Mundt is expected to play a significant role, stepping in for injured Pro Bowler TJ Hockenson. With Hockenson's recovery delayed, Mundt has emerged as a reliable target for quarterback Sam Darnold. Meanwhile, UCLA football is preparing for a challenging season in the Big Ten, showcasing a promising new receiving corps under receivers coach Erik Frazier. The Bruins' tight ends also remain a strength, led by Moliki Matavao, who is positioned as the starter following an ACL injury to Hudson Habermehl. On the other hand, Oregon State Beavers are focusing on enhancing their tight end capabilities within their offensive system. The camaraderie among the UCLA cornerbacks is also highlighted as they prepare for a more significant defensive role this season.
