Strengths

• Soft hands. Flashes good to very good tracking and overall body control to make catches outside of his frame.
• Good body control to reach back for the pass behind him. High-points passes and has good vertical, timing and hand-eye coordination in jump-ball situations.
• Excels finding soft spots in zone coverage and using his large frame to shield defenders.
• Works hard on and off the field. Good strength throughout, fluid body control, and natural movement kills.
• His prototypical size, length and reliable hands push him into the developmental prospect category

Weaknesses

• Isn't agile for a tight end. Might have real trouble getting open at the next level.
• Will have his share of drops with inconsistent focus and too often tried running with the ball before the catch.
• A glider, moves faster than he appears but lacks the top-end speed to be a real threat down the seam.
• Only average lateral agility to elude and might not be fast enough to be a consistent threat down the seam against NFL competition.
• Is a bit high-hipped and slow to get rolling. Frame limits upside as a blocker.
