Last season, he had 38 receptions for 629 yards with 5 touchdowns, 13 carries for 75 yards, 29 total tackles (9 solo, 20 assisted), 1.5 TFL, 2 PD, and 1 blocked field goal.

He'll consistently out run the receiver with his home run speed. Smooth cuts while running his routes. Very good ball tracking and good catching. Majka has an uncanny ability to adjust to the ball in flight. Very good ball adjustment and body control. He'll extend his whole body and propel himself forward to make the catch. After the catch, he uses his burners to blaze past defenders. Majka is also an explosive kick returner. He uses his balance to stay forward and gain extra yards whether on offense or special teams. He can elevate a FCS program's wide receiver room.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["567049"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a25e5fe7b192"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zeller measures in at 5'9 155-pounds.

Once the ball is in his hands, he is gone. Uses his home run speed to weave through defenders for a big gain.
