Has plenty of power in his hands to jolt opponents. Shows solid form and active hands in pass protection, resetting effectively, with the anchor to hold the point against opposing edge defenders.

Shows impressive focus/concentration when targeted and possesses a reliable pair of hands.

Good athlete who accelerates smoothly and has enough speed to threaten down the seams. Fundamentally sound route runner. Has clean footwork to release at the line of scrimmage and knows how to use his size to shield defenders from the ball. Able to adjust to off-target throws. Nice concentration to come down with catches through contact. Looks good as a runner, making defenders pay and even showing a little bit of elusiveness.

Smooth accelerator who’s fast enough to create opportunities on over routes or down the seam; runs a pretty high proportion of his patterns at the intermediate level. Pretty crisp route-runner who shows attention to detail at the route stem to create separation. Dips his shoulder to avoid being disrupted by contact when opponents sit in zone. Good toughness and contact balance to stay on track through the route. Uses his size to shield defenders from the ball and shows the ability to catch away from his frame. Good sideline awareness and body control when targeted near the boundary. Physical and elusive after the catch; works hard to rack up yards after contact and can be a handful to bring down.
