Scouting Report
Was quite fast for a tight end and displayed soft hands as a receiver. Got good separation, caught the ball in stride and could be very productive when he got on a roll. Worked hard and was a very solid blocker. Was a bit inconsistent overall and did not always play to his significant talent level. Also, he was somewhat prone to injury at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: Solid, all-around tight end.
