| Scouting Report | Potential |
| He'll run satisfactory pass patterns someday but that will be as good as it gets. As he refines his speed, he'll be able to create separation from most safeties and linebackers. He's expected to develop the agressiveness needed to play tight end at the college level. Most experts feel he will eventually be an above average run blocker. |
