02Scheme fit
Ideal system

West Coast timing offense built on rhythm passing and reliable short-to-intermediate targets, with spread formations to create advantageous matchups.

U-tight endMove TESlot receiverH-back
Best role

Year 1 as a rotational pass-catching tight end, with the potential to develop into a starting-caliber "move" tight end with expanded route tree responsibilities.

Wrong fit

A traditional run-heavy offense focused on dual-purpose tight ends who excel as inline blockers, as his blocking is not a strength.

A receiving-focused tight end with good athleticism and fluid movement for his size, best utilized in a spread or West Coast system that leverages his pass-catching abilities.

04The evaluation

Selected #47 overall in Round 2 of the 2011 NFL Draft by St. Louis Rams out of Wisconsin.
