A prototypical "move" tight end, he has the hands, speed and athletic gifts to become a feature in the passing game. A background in track and basketball is evident in his long, smooth stride and leaping ability; he gets off the mark quickly to offer a big target in open space. Is plenty fast enough to beat linebackers and some defensive backs on midrange and deeper routes. Is adequate as an in-line pass blocker but is often subbed out on rushing downs. Also, he must continue to work on his route-running technique and on winning contested throws. | |
Long Range Potential: | Talented, impact receiving tight end with good upside. |
