Strengths:
Toughness and a willingness to make grabs over the middle of the field. He has a great set of hands. A lunch pail type tight end that also overs plus athletic ability. Great work ethic and leadership qualities. Played in Jim Harbaugh's pro-style offense. He should be able to contribute right away in the red zone.
Weaknesses:
Not very fast and slow off the snap. Needs a ton of work as a in-line blocker. Needs to bulk up some with an NFL lifting program. Tore his ACL in the Orange Bowl against Florida State and might not be ready for Week 1.
NFL Comparison: CJ Fiedorowicz
