Chase Coffman

Since the turn of the twenty-first century, Missouri Coach Gary Pinkel’s offense produced one of the underrated triplets with QB Chase Daniels, WR Jeremy Maclin, and TE Chase Coffman. During Coffman’s college tenure, Missouri recorded a 37-16 record and earned four bowl invites. In 2007 and 2008, the Tigers posted a 22-6 mark and won the 2008 Cotton Bowl, finishing with their twelfth win. College Fantasy Footballers will never forget the explosive Missouri passing game headed by the Tigers’ trio.

As a senior in 2008, Coffman collected First Team All-American honors and captured the John Mackey Award after catching 90 passes for 987 yards and 10 touchdowns despite missing two games. As a collegian, he was named a Freshman All-American (2005) and a First Team All-Big 12 selection twice (2006 and 2008). 

Coffman accumulated over 500 receiving yards each season on campus and logged more than 50 catches in three consecutive crusades. The 6-6 and 250-pounder still stands atop the all-time pass catchers at Missouri with 247 receptions and 30 touchdowns. He is also third in program history with 2,659 receiving yards. The former All-American garnered the most votes among the tight ends by the CFF Hall of Fame panel, and Coffman’s legacy is forever etched into the history of our hobby.

After Chase Coffman set the career record for receptions by a tight end (FBS), teammate Jeremy Maclin (WR) stated, "He's the best tight end in the nation. He does amazing stuff with the ball, catching the ball, jumping over people. For a guy to be that size and to be as athletic as he is, it's a once-in-a-lifetime type of thing." (columbiamissorian.com)
