Important LinksStats
OverviewStarted 12 games in 2009 and was third on the team in receptions and touchdowns.
StrengthsComplete player who can both contribute in the passing game and as a blocker. Solid hands, decent quickness and is very tough to jam at the line. More of a possession receiver, but gets off the ball quickly and can be dangerous down the seam. Decent athlete who uses his body well to shield defenders from the ball. Turns and gets upfield quickly. Excellent blocker. Strong base, strong hands and overall core strength more reminiscent of an offensive lineman. Gets Good push in the run game and sticks to blocks. Almost an extra tackle in pass protection. Plays some H-back.
WeaknessesLacks explosion and deep speed. Doesn't have the agility or leaping ability of the elite pass-catching TE's. Sometimes goes games without a catch. Despite his blocking prowess, is not the very large for the position.
ProjectionMid-round pick with very low risk. Not flashy and may not start, but with the abundance of two and three man TE sets, he's almost a lock to play on Sundays.
