The *other* tight end for the Cardinal, who stayed in-line while Coby Fleener and Zach Ertz ran around catching touchdowns. A sound strategy, because he's clearly a less natural receiver than either. Plodding route-runner and a bit uncoordinated for his size. Stiff in his catching motions. He also plays smaller than his height, as he doesn't extend for passes well or break many tackles.

More reps in the passing game will help, but he's probably a stealth target at best. Red-zone and the like. Good news is, he's a solid blocker who has yet to maximize his strength. Lunges a bit after initial contact, but he holds his ground well against linemen and can whip outside linebackers. Mirrors rushers naturally in pass protection. He'll be even better once he's stronger: his arms look underdeveloped right now.

Although blocking tight ends seem passé, most don't have his size and reach. His receiving development will be a bonus.
