Strengths
  • He is a highly competitive player and quickly gets to the perimeter, blocking well in space and at the second level.
  • Knee-bend and technique are good and he shows decent power when his hands hit the target.
  • Looks to get involved downfield and will block multiple defenders on a single play when he can. Understands his role as a blocker.
  • 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.
  • Soft hands. Flashes good to very good tracking and overall body control to make catches outside of his frame.
Weaknesses
  • Has only average size and strength and lacks an imposing frame.
  • 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.
  • Plodder who builds to speed and lacks big-play ability. Stiff; lacks flexibility with tight hips.
  • Only average lateral agility to elude and might not be fast enough to be a consistent threat down the seam against NFL competition.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
