Strengths
  • Has extremely good, soft, natural hands. Consistently makes the clean catch.
  • Capable of tracking passes from many angles. Good sideline awareness, taps quick feet to stay in-bounds.
  • Has enough speed to challenge the seam but does not possess elite top-end speed.
  • Gets a quick release off the line. Dips his shoulder and shows some savvy 8 as a route runner to avoid contact with defenders g to get into his route.
  • Looks to get involved downfield and will block multiple defenders on a single play when he can. Understands his role as a blocker.
Weaknesses
  • A glider, moves faster than he appears but lacks the top-end speed to be a real threat down the seam.
  • Lacks size and has a lean build, short stature and average length.
  • Effort blocker who gets in the way more than he mauls.
  • Tight hips, limited long speed and isn't naturally explosive. Not an in-line blocker with a weak base.
  • Is a bit high-hipped and slow to get rolling. Frame limits upside as a blocker.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
