It was an important feature of Ertz' career that he played with Toilolo and vice versa. I'm sure we're hoping Roush and Hawkins can be Ertz/Toilolo for a new generation.

Good point about Toilolo.  Also, Coby Fleener overlapped with Ertz for a couple of years.  That was aN UNBELIEVABLE  tight end room.

An impressive piece of trivia that makes Ungar/Yurosek, Roush/Hawkins, and Lyons/Platt (though maybe that doesn't count as Lyons is 2025) land a bit differently:

In the last two decades, Stanford has had multiple tight ends in the same class sign with NFL teams five different times (Lorig and Dray in 2005; Ertz, Toilolo, Hewitt, and Najvar in 2009; Hooper and Cotton in 2013, Smith and Harrington in 2016, Parkinson and Fisk in 2017). Cotton, Harrington, and Fisk are pretty fringe, but still....wow. And 2007 had both tight ends, Kiilsgaard (switched immediately to tight end after initially being recruited at quarterback) and Fleener, go pro but one was in baseball.
