Matthew Stockman/Allsport
|
|
|
He is one of the smaller TEs in this draft and he is very athletic and has a chance to develop into a good receiver. He has H-back type skills and is a guy that can stretch a defense and defeat m/m coverage. While he seems to have a natural feel for the passing game and knows how to get open, he has not been in a pro-style offense and his opportunities to catch the ball are limited. He is a willing blocker, but is not big enough to be overly physical, although he does a nice job of walling off and keeping on his feet. If he is used properly and is drafted by an NFL team that lets him go in motion and be on the move, he could develop into a nice receiving type TE and special teams performer. He will, however, need a crash course in a sophisticated pro-passing game to contribute early.
