Tough, hard-working tight end efficient both as a pass catcher and blocker. Breaks down well, plays with forward lean and effectively readjusts his body. Works his blocks, can shuffle and slide his feet in pass protection and turns opponents out or controls them once engaged in a block. Displays focus and concentration, eye/hand coordination and looks the pass in as a receiver. Extends and plucks the ball out of the air and also displays solid route running skills. Overall game lacks quickness and explosion, he does not make plays down the field, nor is he effective blocking far off the line of scrimmage. Came back slowly as a senior from his knee injury but did have a good week at the Senior Bowl. Solid but not spectacular tight end lacking the pure size/speed numbers to make him anything other than a late round choice. Late Fifth Round.
