Notes:

• Used a lot as a blocker at Temple
• Gets good initial hit on the defender, but doesn’t hold blocks particularly great
• Runs a lot of routes to the flat on misdirection
• Pretty good quickness, but not as powerful as you’d like out of a tight end
• Good hands, reliable target
• Gets majority of yards after catch
• Speed to be vertical threat in the NFL
• Pretty wide wingspan and very good athletic ability
• Can play inside as a FB, in line as a TE, or split out in the slot as a receiver; versatility is key to his game
