Summary

Appears to be the top TE in this draft. Big, good looking athlete that combines size, AA and speed, and has the physical skills to be a complete TE in the NFL.. He did not have a great Sr. year due to injuries, but he should be healthy and he have no weaknesses.. He has the receiving skills to stretch a defense and create mis-matches, and he is a decent route runner, but can get better in that area. His hands are good, but can also improve. He has the ability to develop into an outstanding blocker, but he is not perfect in that part of his game yet, and he needs to become a little more consistent. He has not been in a true pro- style offense, and he will need some seasoning and refining, but all the skills are there. Note...off the fiels questions have lowered him on several draft boards - as a result, he may go later in the draft than projected.
