He has the best speed of any TE in this draft, but he does not seem to play close to his 40 time. He has good overall athletic ability, good feet and shows some explosiveness and quickness off the line of scrimmage. He is an adequate blocker, but does not dominate partly due to lack of size and bulk and also, due to lack of intensity. He almost looks like an H-back that needs to be on the move to avoid in-line "physical" play. With his speed and potential receiving skills, he will be intriguing to a lot of NFL teams, but something seems to be missing here. He doesn't look like a complete player, but he does have a nice upside.
