Graded Tight End Traits:

  • Athleticism: 4/10 (Appears to be an average to below average athlete)
  • Durability: 8/10 (Missed one game due to head injury and was knicked up in other games)
  • Hands: 7/10 (Seems to have fairly reliable hands)
  • RAC Ability: 3/10 (Does not offer a ton here)
  • Run Blocking: 6/10 (He is willing and has passable form. Gets overpowered too much and looks lost at times when trying to block downfield)
  • Route Running: 5/10 (Runs different routes but they are very rounded and not sharp. Also looks to push off of people on his cuts that will get flagged at the next level)
  • Speed: 5/10 (Nothing crazy, pretty average)
  • Strength: 6/10 (Seems decently strong in blocking but a lot less when route running and after the catch. He gets disrupted on routes too easily)

Prospect Grade: 44/80; 55% (Backup Potential)

Projected Draft Day: Early 3 

Player Comparison: Tyler Conklin

Player Summary:

Average tight end athletically, that can be a decent blocking and receiving threat, while also not excelling at either. Has the potential to be a solid TE2. Look for him to be taken around the 4th round.
