Ideal system

The West Coast timing offense, with its emphasis on short-to-intermediate routes and YAC, demands tight ends who are reliable, precise route runners with soft hands.

Y-tight endH-backMove TESlot/flex TE
Best role

Initially a rotational depth piece and special teamer, he could develop into a reliable chain-moving 'Y' tight end in a pass-first attack.

Wrong fit

A run-first, play-action oriented vertical passing game would expose his limited blocking prowess and average deep speed.

A willing and intelligent player who can contribute in multiple facets of a modern passing offense, particularly underneath and in the red zone.
