Jameson Konz (born July 2, 1986) is a former American football tight end, linebacker, and defensive end who played at various times for 3 NFL teams, the Seattle Seahawks, Dallas Cowboys, and Denver Broncos. His career was set back by numerous injuries which impacted and ultimately curtailed his time in the league.
Konz was selected with the 245th overall pick in the 7th round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Seahawks, originally as a wide receiver. He played college football at Kent State, playing multiple positions on both defense and offense throughout his college career.
Despite not being invited to the NFL combine, Konz attracted the attention of NFL teams after his pro day workout at Kent State when he posted some of the best measurables of any player in that year's draft. Konz ran the 40 yard dash in 4.38 seconds on his second attempt, made a 10'-8" broad jump, and performed a 46" vertical jump. He later completed 27 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press during a pre-draft workout for the New Orleans Saints.
