Joe Philbin's West Coast-style offense emphasizes timing, route precision, and versatility in its offensive skill positions.
As a rookie, Clay will mostly feature as a motion player out of the backfield or as a slot receiver, with the potential to develop into a secondary receiving option in the short-to-intermediate game.
A traditional run-heavy, two-TE offense that primarily uses its tight ends in-line for blocking, such as a gap/duo power run scheme, would not maximize Clay's unique receiving abilities.
Clay provides unique versatility as a move tight end who can contribute significantly in the passing game from multiple alignments, offering matchup advantages against linebackers and safeties. If played as an in-line tight end primarily, he likely has issues with the initial punch and play strength needed to consistently hold up against more powerful defensive ends and linebackers.
