Strengths

• Soft, reliable hands center the big target for quarterbacks. Shields the defense and will let the ball into his pads to protect it when about to absorb a big hit over the middle.
• Has a strong, athletic frame with room for an additional 10 pounds of muscle mass.
• Knee-bend and technique are good and he shows decent power when his hands hit the target.
• Has extremely good, soft, natural hands. Consistently makes the clean catch.
• Good strength and effort to run through arm tackles.
• Has enough speed to challenge the seam but does not possess elite top-end speed.
• He is a highly competitive player and quickly gets to the perimeter, blocking well in space and at the second level.

Weaknesses

• A glider, moves faster than he appears but lacks the top-end speed to be a real threat down the seam.
• Only average lateral agility to elude and might not be fast enough to be a consistent threat down the seam against NFL competition.
• Isn't agile for a tight end. Might have real trouble getting open at the next level.
