02Scheme fit
Ideal system
West Coast timing offense, emphasizing precise routes, reliable hands, and the ability to contribute as a blocker in both run and pass protection.
'Y' Tight EndIn-line blockerH-back/Flex TE
Best role
Immediate TE2 providing blocking and a safety net in the short game, with the ceiling to develop into a starting 'Y' tight end who excels in run support and as a dependable possession target.
Wrong fit
A vertical-heavy Air Raid system that primarily utilizes tight ends for deep seam routes and minimal blocking demands.
Otton's well-rounded skillset and high football IQ make him a versatile asset for a timing-based offense, capable of contributing early while developing into a foundational piece.
