Strengths

• Can effectively place a block on a pass rusher before starting route by sinking fluid hips and delivering a punch.
• Seems to enjoy the physical confrontation of blocking. Is willing to attack bigger defenders with explosive pop and good strength.
• He 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 is a highly competitive player and quickly gets to the perimeter, blocking well in space and at the second level.
• Quickly secures and protects the ball. Tracks the ball well and adjusts to off-target throws.
• Above-average acceleration for a big man.
• Short with short arms for an NFL tight end. Has enough upper-body strength to fight initial jam at the line of scrimmage and has the speed and athleticism to burn defenders challenging him.
• Good short-area foot quickness with very good footwork.

Weaknesses

• Doesn't break many tackles or do enough after contact.
• Average size and power for the position; won't overwhelm with his strength.
