Ohio State’s Max Klare ends up in funniest NFL destination during draft originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

Max Klare made the most of his lone college football season with the Ohio State Buckeyes.

After transferring from Purdue, he turned himself into a second-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

There's just one bit of irony: He's gone to a place with a boatload of tight ends.

The Los Angeles Rams drafted Klare, and the depth chart is quite crowded.

Their depth chart is actually so full that the popular site Ourlads breaks their tight end position into "left tight end" and "right tight end" -- something it doesn't do for other teams.

Before drafting Klare, the Rams already had the veteran Tyler Higbee along with Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen and 2025 second-round pick Terrance Ferguson.

They now add Klare to the mix as a fifth potential tight end to try and make the roster.

But in reality, the Rams play tight ends as much as anyone in football. They'll put three on the field at once.

After the Klare pick, someone joked that the Rams might play a 14 formation -- one running back, four tight ends, no wide receivers.

And hey, at this rate, they've got the personnel to do it.

Obviously, they have talented wideouts Davante Adams and Puka Nacua, so they need them on the field, too. It could get confusing.

It might already be confusing for Klare. It's exciting to get to play for Sean McVay and with Matthew Stafford.

But, well, there are only so many spots for tight ends. And it sure feels like the Rams have too many.
