Brings the overall physical talent NFL teams look for in a starting tight end: has enough foot speed to get the job done, is a good leaper whose explosiveness helps him win in the air, is a strong individual (with good height) who can win with his power, and has good quickness and fluidity in his overall movements. Somwhat raw overall: a bit unproven as a consistent, high-volume receiver and his blocking ability is still somewhat a work in progress too. Additionally lacks ideal mass for the position, and needs more muscle to compete.
Long Range Potential: Eventual above-average starting tight end.
