Scouting Report: Strengths
- Has enough speed to challenge the seam but does not possess elite top-end speed.
- Quick athlete and is usually sure-handed as a receiver. Much-improved route runner, creating space in coverage.
- Briningstool can move the chains and has the skills to stand out in the red zone with sneaky foot speed and long stride to top producing tight end.
- He accelerates quickly and possesses good straight-line speed. Briningstool shows solid ball-tracking skills and body control downfield, able to adjust to the off-target throw.
- He’s coordinated with soft, reliable hands, and Briningstool shows the ability to adjust to balls thrown behind him, as well as a knack for digging out low throws.
- Good burst off the snap, quick hands and good balance to gain a clean release.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- His ability to track the ball is good enough, but Briningstool too often let the ball get into his body downfield rather than snatching it with his hands.
- While he has the athleticism to be a catch-and-run threat, he never seemed comfortable catching, gathering, and transitioning to a runner.
- He’s largely a non-factor downfield, and he had issues with drops when running behind a defensive back and tracking the ball. More quick than fast, he won’t always be able to run away from NFL defensive backs.
