A look at 2024 third-round pick Tip Reiman and his second-year outlook in 2025.
The Arizona Cardinals drafted 12 players in 2024. Some of them had contributions as rookies. Some will have greater roles in 2025. Others will have to battle for the roster.
They selected tight end Tip Reiman in the third round with the 82nd overall pick.
Entering Year 2 in the NFL, let’s have a look at his 2025 outlook.
TE Tip Reiman’s 2024 season
Reiman was a quiet consistent contributor on offense as a rookie. He was listed as the No. 3 tight end on the roster behind Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins but he started nine games and logged 450 offensive snaps, playing more than Higgins’ 411 snaps.
Now, while Higgins had 20 receptions, Reiman was the Cardinals’ blocking tight end. He had six catches for 37 yards.
He also logged 189 special teams snaps.
Tip Reiman’s Year 2 outlook for 2025
Reiman in Year 2 probably will have the exact same role as he did as a rookie. The Cardinals like that he has potential upside as a pass catcher, but he is a mauler in the run game. Since Higgins is a better natural pass catcher (he played receiver in college), the way the Cardinals deployed their tight ends probably won’t change much.
Reiman will have a quiet, critical role on offense and probably will have limited offensive production.
