Charlie Kolar Scouting Report
Charlie Kolar Scouting Report
Height: 6’6.5
Weight: 252
Age: 23.2
Charlie Kolar Pro Day Results
Kolar attended the Combine but didn’t take part in the athletic testing.
40-yard dash: 4.62 seconds (still 80th percentile adjusted)
Broad: 120 inches (79th percentile)
Vertical: 35.5 inches (78th)
3-cone: 6.98 seconds (82nd*)
Short shuttle: 4.35 seconds (54th)
Even with 0.05 added to his 40 time for pro-day results running traditionally faster than Combine testing, Kolar still shaved 0.22 off the 40 time he registered as a 2017 college prospect. He also added 8.5 inches to his vertical. His adjusted 40 time at 252 pounds gave him an 87th-percentile speed score (109.6) among NFL TEs.
*According to Stathead, no TE prospect has ever recorded a 6.98-second 3-cone time – even though we’ve seen 6 guys at 6.99 seconds, 3 at 6.97 and plenty more just to either side of those numbers. The percentile rank here is based on the 6.99 time, so Kolar rates even better than what’s listed.
Charlie Kolar College Stats
Kolar completed a highly productive high school career in Oklahoma (139 catches, 2,440 yards, 31 TDs) as a 3-star recruit. He landed at Iowa State despite both of his parents working at Oklahoma University. (The Sooners never offered him a scholarship.)
Kolar redshirted as a 2017 freshman. His mere 11 catches in 2018 ranked just 6th on a team that included RB David Montgomery and WR Hakeem Butler, but the debut campaign was good enough to land Kolar a 2nd-team All-Big 12 nod from the coaches. His 3 TDs ranked 3rd on the team.
With Montgomery and Butler gone to the NFL for 2019, Kolar enjoyed a breakout campaign. He leaped from 3.6% target share to 16.7%, ranking 3rd on the team in receptions and yards and pacing the Cyclones in TD catches. (Only freshman RB Breece Hall scored more total TDs.)
In 2020, Kolar graduated from John Mackey Award semifinalist to finalist on the strength of top-5 numbers among TEs in catches, receiving yards and TD receptions. Of Kolar’s 44 catches for the season, 35 produced a 1st down or a TD. He earned multiple All-America nods, as well as a 2nd straight spot on the all-conference team.
Kolar wrapped up his career with a 3rd straight increase in target share (21.6%) as a redshirt senior, finishing 2nd on the team in receptions and receiving yards and once again leading ISU in TD catches. He set school single-season records for receptions and yards by a TE and won both the William V. Campbell Trophy and the CoSIDA Academic All-America Football Player of the Year awards as the nation’s top scholar athlete. Kolar graduated with a 3.99 GPA in engineering.
And just in case you don’t care how smart he is, here are his market shares for the final 3 seasons:
- 2019: 16.2% rec, 17.3% yards, 24.1% TDs
- 2020: 17.7% rec, 20.4% yards, 35.0% TDs
- 2021: 19.8% rec, 22.0% yards, 27.3% TDs
Charlie Kolar Highlights
Games watched: Baylor 2021, Oklahoma 2021, Oregon 2020, Oklahoma 2020 (Big 12 Championship)
Don’t expect to be blown away if you watch Kolar. Then again, if you’re looking for some college tape to blow you away, you should just steer clear of this TE class. But Kolar might just sneak into relevance under cover of a class that is exciting no one.
The 1st thing that stood out to me was strong, confident hands.
Kolar regularly catches the ball away from his body with ease, at various levels and in varying coverage situations.
He can take those confident hands with him for a low ball.
And as you might expect from a 6’6.5 TE with above-average hops, he can go get a high one (and still get both feed in bounds when he only needs 1).
Kolar doesn’t quite look speedy in route or with the ball in his hands. But he moves plenty well for the position and saw a lot of slot usage at Iowa State. According to Pro Football Focus numbers, Kolar spent 58.0% and 57.5% of his pass snaps in the slot the past 2 years and carried average target depths of 10.7 yards or more each of the past 3 seasons.
This rep comes against a shorter DB (5’10), but shows some of how Kolar can be a tough matchup from the line of scrimmage …
The sample of games didn’t show a lot of contested situations in the end zone, but this clip from his 2019 Watch Stadium reel points to what the former basketball player might be capable of in that area.
Fantasy Outlook
No one’s getting excited about any TEs in this class, but that doesn’t mean none will prove fantasy relevant. And Kolar brings about as strong an upside package as anyone.
He’s tall and relatively fast. He’s smart. He brings a history of production. And he’s more receiver than blocker. (PFF never graded him strong in run blocking or pass blocking for a full college season.)
The NFL team that drafts him is likely to view Kolar as a potential short-to-mid-range target, and he has the tools to factor into red-zone schemes.

Mark Andrews Doesn’t Score Despite Three TE TDs
Ravens TE Mark Andrews failed to score again ending up with a stat line of four catches on five targets for 55 yards against the Bengals. The rest of the Ravens TE room found the end zone though with Isaiah Likely catching all three targets for 13 yards and two TDs and Charlie Kolar catching three of four targets for 64 yards including long 55-yard TD.

Mark Andrews likely done for season
Ravens HC John Harbaugh says TE Mark Andrews' ankle injury against the Bengals appears likely to end his season, according to multiple reports. That would obviously be a huge loss for the Baltimore offense. Andrews accounted for 23.5% of the team's receiving yards this season entering Thursday night -- despite missing the season's first game. He also leads the team in receiving yards per game and sports the highest receiving success rate among Ravens with at least 10 receptions. TE Isaiah Likely dominated playing time at the position after Andrews left. His 29 routes against the Bengals ranked second on the team, according to Pro Football Focus, trailing only WR Zay Flowers. Likely drew just 2 targets, though, and finished with 0 receptions. He'll be worth some waiver-wire attention ahead of Week 12. But don't count on Likely stepping in for starter-level fantasy production. WR Odell Beckham enjoyed arguably his best performance as a Raven. He led the team with 7 targets and 4 receptions, delivering 116 yards. It was Beckham's largest yardage total since Week 2 of 2019. Unfortunately, he also suffered a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter. We'll see about the severity of that injury heading into Week 12, with Baltimore's bye to follow. Losing Andrews hurts QB Lamar Jackson, but he gets the league's best QB-scoring matchup vs. the Chargers in Week 12. So we might need to wait until after the Week 13 bye to actually see the negative impact.

Isaiah Likely barely shows up vs. Texans
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely drew just 1 target in Sunday's win over the Texans, despite TE Mark Andrews being inactive. Likely caught that lone target for 4 yards. TE Charlie Kolar also drew 1 target, which fell incomplete. QB Lamar Jackson attempted just 22 passes. Only WR Zay Flowers (10 targets) drew more than 3 targets. Don't plan to use Likely in Week 2, even if Andrews remains out.

Kolar comes off IR
The Ravens have activated TE Charlie Kolar from IR. Kolar has yet to play a game this season because of a sports hernia, but he has been practicing for several weeks. “He’s looked really good,” HC John Harbaugh told the team’s website. “He’s a young player, and he missed a lot of time during training camp so he’s still developing, but he’s out there [and] he looks good. He’s so talented, he’s so big, he has great hands. He had three good weeks of practice, so I anticipate him being brought up this week.” Kolar will have to contend with a crowd at TE, including Mark Andrews' expected return from injury, Josh Oliver, Nick Boyle and fellow rookie Isaiah Likely. It'll be tough for Kolar to carve out a significant role the rest of the way -- perhaps even to make the game-day roster.

Kolar needs sports-hernia surgery
Ravens TE Charlie Kolar will undergo sports-hernia surgery early next week, HC John Harbaugh said. That figures to threaten the rookie's availability for the start of the season. Kolar, of course, is unlikely to be a 2022 fantasy asset. He's just a dynasty stash.
