Zack Kuntz is an American professional football tight end with a modest estimated net worth of under $1 million, reflecting his path as a late-round draft pick who has spent most of his career on rosters and practice squads rather than as a featured player.
Early Life & Family
Zack Kuntz was born on June 4, 1999, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He began his college career at Penn State, appearing in 21 games from 2018 to 2020, before transferring to Old Dominion University to find a larger role.
Rise to Fame
At Old Dominion, Kuntz’s combination of size and athleticism stood out. In 2021 he was a first-team All-Conference USA selection and finished second among tight ends nationally with 73 receptions. At the NFL Combine he measured 6-foot-8, 255 pounds, and ran a 4.55-second 40-yard dash with a 40-inch vertical jump, numbers that generated NFL interest despite his lack of gaudy college production overall.
Career History
Kuntz was selected by the New York Jets in the seventh round (220th overall) of the 2023 NFL Draft, acquired via a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders. He signed a four-year rookie contract worth up to $3.8 million. He did not record any statistics in his 2023 rookie season and appeared in just two games across his two years with the Jets before being waived in August 2025. In February 2026, the Miami Dolphins signed Kuntz to a futures contract.
How They Built Their Wealth
Kuntz’s earnings to date come from his rookie contract with the Jets, which included a signing bonus and a base rookie-minimum salary, plus whatever futures-contract money he has earned since. As a player who has mostly occupied practice-squad and depth roles, his career earnings remain modest compared to established NFL starters.
Personal Life
Public information about Kuntz’s personal life is limited, with most coverage focused on his college production and his unusual size-speed combination for a tight end.
