Troy Niklas (born September 18, 1992) is an American football tight end who is currently a free agent. He was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Notre Dame.

High school

Niklas attended Servite High School in Anaheim, California. He was a two-way standout as both an offensive and defensive lineman. He helped lead Servite to 14–1 record in 2010, a second straight CIF Southern Section Pac-5 Division title and runner-up in state playoffs. He was named the Los Angeles Times lineman of the year as a senior in 2010.[1]

Also a standout athlete, Niklas was one of the state's top performers in the discus throw (top throw of 54.10 meters as a senior).[2]

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, he was rated the 24th-best offensive tackle prospect in the nation.[3] He accepted a scholarship from Notre Dame over offers from Stanford and USC.[4]

College career

Niklas attended the University of Notre Dame from 2011 to 2013. As a freshman, he played as a linebacker, appearing in 12 games with one start against Michigan State. He was moved to tight end as a sophomore.[5] Playing behind Tyler Eifert, he caught 5 passes for 75 yards and one touchdown. As a junior, he hauled in 32 receptions for 498 yards with five touchdowns.

On January 9, 2014, Niklas announced his intentions to forgo his remaining eligibility and enter the 2014 NFL Draft.[6]

Arizona Cardinals

On September 27, 2016, Niklas was placed on injured reserve.[10]

In 2017, Niklas played in 15 games with 11 starts, recording 11 catches for 132 yards and one touchdown.

New England Patriots
