Very speedy for a tight end, he simply cannot be covered by a linebacker. Safeties have problems with him, too, since he's also a load to bring down. Is a tremendous red-zone target due to his size, athleticism and playmaking ability. Teams design plays for him, as he can break tackles and beat defenders in open space. Needs to put on more bulk in order to become better as a run blocker, though he'll likely never be great at it. Does his best work off the line of scrimmage, so teams won't likely use him as an all-purpose tight end (and he may be limited to pass-happy teams that use multi-TE sets). | |
Long Range Potential: | Speedy, athletic pass-catching tight end with upside. |
