Selected by Miami Dolphins
Round 5, pick 21 (156 overall)
BIO: Totaled a career high 22 receptions last year for 161 receiving yards and one score. Junior totals were 16-197-0 after 19-204-1 the prior year. Moved into the starting lineup during the late part of his freshman campaign.

POSITIVES: Efficient tight end adequate as both a pass catcher and blocker. Quick off the snap, effective with his hands and displays footwork in pass protection. Works his blocks, controls opponents once engaged at the point and cognizant of his assignments. Runs well laterally as a pass catcher making the reception in stride and displaying good eye-hand coordination.

NEGATIVES: Poor size-speed numbers and does not stand out in any single aspect of his game.

ANALYSIS: Overlooked much of his career but a prospect who could nicely fit in as a team's number two tight end.

PROJECTION: Late Sixth Round
