Shanahan's diverse outside zone passing attack, featuring complex route trees and an emphasis on yards after catch.
Immediate contributor as a versatile Z-receiver and punt returner, with a ceiling as a reliable chain-mover and occasional deep threat.

His fluid athleticism and route-running precision make him a natural fit for systems that prioritize YAC and detailed receiving roles.
