| Strengths | Extremely fast for his size; has allegedly run a sub 4.4 40 and his speed stands out on film. Very quick off the line, good acceleration and agility. Consistently gets a clean release, though he primarily lined up split off the line. Has long arms and big hands, can highpoint the ball. Just an exceptional natural athlete. Secures the ball quickly with strong hands. Does a good job finding the seams of the defense and presenting himself as a target. Solid downfield blocker when he locates his target in time. Has a flair for the dramatic and is very good in the red zone.
|
| Weaknesses | Offers little run blocking or in-line toughness. Is more like an oversized WR than a traditional TE. Needs to add upper body strength, can get pushed off course when lined up tight. Doesn’t always run clean routes, will use false steps and drift on outside routes. Lets too many balls get to his body, esp. on shorter throws. Not noted for toughness, either physical or mental.
