Scouting Report
Brought elite overall talent as a receiving tight end: size, speed, strength, athleticism and great hands. Could beat defenders up the seam and was very fluid in space, with the ability to make tough grabs on the run. Was also an adequate blocker and a true team leader. Did not always get the most out of his size and athleticism, and sometimes struggled with game-to-game consistency. Did not always maximize his speed as a downfield threat. Was never really considered as a mauler when blocking. Late in his career, injuries piled up and led to a steep and rapid decline before retiring from the NFL.
Long Range Potential: Elite pass-catching tight end.
