Strengths
  • Has a strong, athletic frame with room for an additional 10 pounds of muscle mass.
  • He is a highly competitive player and quickly gets to the perimeter, blocking well in space and at the second level.
  • Soft hands. Flashes good to very good tracking and overall body control to make catches outside of his frame.
  • Soft, reliable hands center the big target for quarterbacks. Shields the defense and will let the ball into his pads to protect it when about to absorb a big hit over the middle.
  • Knee-bend and technique are good and he shows decent power when his hands hit the target.
Weaknesses
  • Inconsistent with his release off the line of scrimmage.
  • Isn't agile for a tight end. Might have real trouble getting open at the next level.
  • High cut frame and limited power in hands prevent a top blocking grade.
  • Only average lateral agility to elude and might not be fast enough to be a consistent threat down the seam against NFL competition.
  • Possesses only average straight-line speed and is a bit stiff as a route-runner, showing only average flexibility and burst out of his breaks.

*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.
