Shanahan outside zone passing game requires receivers to run precise routes, display agility, and be able to block linebackers and safeties on run plays.
A versatile veteran with good leadership intangibles and excellent blocking technique.
An Air Raid system that primarily features spread concepts and doesn't prioritize blocking from wide receivers.
Whalen's ability to pick up blitzes and block in the run game will carve out a role for him as a depth receiver, but he lacks the speed and explosiveness to ever be a significant downfield threat.
