Scouting Report

Assets
  • Tall and fast and can cause matchup problems. Catches the ball well and will break tackles for big plays. Has improved by leaps and bounds as a route runner and makes the tough catch in the middle.
Flaws
  • Isn't an elite athlete. Adequate blocker, at best: doesn't possess the technique and balance in pass protection. Doesn't get as much separation as he should. Mildly injury-prone.
Career Potential
  • Above-average pass-catching tight end.
  • Awards
