Didn't manage to get round to him.
But based on the quick amount I've been able to look at, his projections suggests he's going to be an in-line blocker type guy who offers a seam threat but not much wiggle or underneath route-running.
From the Beast:
STRENGTHS
● Not imposing but solidly built with definition in his arms and lower body
● Has linear twitch in his lower half to fire into routes and establish positioning
● Accelerates smoothly and doesn’t lose steam down the seam
● Posts up and shields defenders at the top of routes
● Hand-eye coordination to look the ball into his hands
● Strains through man coverage to locate and adjust to the ball
● Strong, tight hands in the run game to fit and churn his feet
● Steady execution on the move to locate and connect with defenders
● Well-established character — former Eagle Scout who grew up in a military family
WEAKNESSES
● Average short-area shake (before and after the catch)
● Has some tightness in his core, hindering quick change-of-direction ability
● Needs to eliminate some route drift to be more consistent at uncovering
● Will get yards in front of him, but not an elusive or tackle-breaking threat
● Blocking sustain would benefit from better knee bend
● Physical blocker, but would like to see a little nastier finish
● Doesn’t have a playmaking resume (only four career games of more than 60 receiving yards)
