He's got some old man game to him. His quickness isn't special, but he gets separation with head fakes and discreet push-offs. Solid hands and excellent body control (he uses his frame to shield defenders well), although he could secure catches in traffic a little better.

He's not a good blocker though. Borderline awful, in fact. He puts his head down way too much, doesn't use proper hand placement and has little strength. Apathetic blocker in the open field (he targets linebackers like he's giving out hugs). The only assignment he completes reliably is leaning against a defensive end on a double team.

He should get open in the NFL because of his aforementioned craftiness, and is really comfortable running slot routes and scramble drills. If you have the luxury of putting up with his limited in-line abilities, second or third round seems worth it. This is a relatively thin tight end class though, so he'll get a boost from scarcity.
