Graded Tight End Traits:

  • Athleticism: 7/10 (Has upside here and can be a red zone weapon with height and jumping ability)
  • Durability: 2/10 (Only one complete season and only played in 20 games in a four year career. Missed all but 2 games in 2022 with undisclosed knee injury)
  • Hands: 7/10 (Has decent hands but also has them out of place when catching and also does not use full frame to extend catch radius as he keeps arms tucked in)
  • RAC Ability: 2/10 (He has the size to bowl over people but he just does not even try. No jukes, stiff arms, trucks, or anything)
  • Run Blocking: 4/10 (A willing blocker, but needs to put heavy work into hand placement. Also just did not lineup in line a ton to get experience)
  • Route Running: 8/10 (Has a pretty polished route tree with suddenness to get open)
  • Speed: 7/10 (Pretty good long speed but nothing crazy in short area)
  • Strength: 6/10 (Holds up in blocking when in proper position but does not run through people either after the catch)

Player Comparison: Juwan Johnson

Player Summary:

This is a seriously difficult scout as there is so little film on him. His first two games this season pointed to big things but then he missed the rest of the season with an undisclosed injury that no one seems to know anything about besides that it is possibly with his knee. He has some upside athletically where he can use his speed to beat linebackers or size to beat defensive backs. His blocking is not good but he can develop. His durability is a serious concern as he has only appeared in 20 games in 4 seasons.
