Had consistent hands and some big-play ability as a receiver. Showed a lot of running skills after the catch and was generally fast down the field. A converted quarterback, he understood the art of running routes and brought size, strength and athletic ability to the tight end position. Injuries were a significant issue throughout his career, and it is what caused him to retire prematurely. Lacked optimum muscle mass for blocking and for greater durability.

Long Range Potential: Quality, pass-catching tight end, when healthy.
