UDFA. Was signed by the Vikings as a UDFA but released in July for unknown reasons. Was a junior. Transferred from Florida for 2013. Outside of the character red flags, he seems like a nice combination blocker and receiver. Could do … Continue reading →

All-Star Games: South Carolina All-Star Bowl. Positives: Versatile – was a running back in high school. Protects the ball well after the catch. Extends well and snags in traffic. Good concentration in traffic. Above-average body control. Okay routes. Adequate run … Continue reading →

Texans, Round 3. He was my number-6 TE going into the draft because of his good combination of hands and blocking ability. He goes to a team that is going to use both a lot. Should be their starter right … Continue reading →

Dolphins, Round 5. Goes to a Dolphins team with Charles Clay as their top tight end/fullback, and he caught nearly 70 passes in 2013. Also has Michael Egnew and Dion Sims at the position, but he should certainly beat them out … Continue reading →
