Summary

This is a good college football player that vaulted up the draft charts with outstanding post-season performances.. He has great size, and overall bulk, and is one of the more physical TEs to come along in recent years. He is a good overall athlete for his size. He has been very effective in the intermediate passing game, and he has solid overall receiving skills. He is not necessarily a deep threat, and he won’t run away from a lot of guys, but he is physical enough to push off and make the catch. He was troubled somewhat by some drops during the season, but he improved in that area late in the year. He has the frame to be an outstanding blocker, but he does not always play with leverage, and utilize his power. He will never be a great m/m, stretch the field type TE, but he could develop into an every down player .
