Anticipates the snap, and explodes out of his stance with little delay. He gets defenders back on their heels, and then uses his savviness, and agility to gain separation. Ran the entire route tree while at UCLA, and was exposed to a wide variety of offenses at the college level with playing in Jim Mora's pro-style offense, to Chip Kelly's spread attack. Understands how to leverage routes, and will use subtleties within the route to gain separation. Is a coach's son, and has that innate intelligence and feel for when to break off routes back to his QB. Will break off jam at LOS with swim moves or even a hump move, but his quickness off the snap allows him to get a clean release most of the time. Within the duration of the route he understands how to shield away defenders, and make combat catches if he doesn't get a ton of separation. He always seems to be able to work himself open whether with strength or power, or by using his intelligence. Hands are like Velcro, everything sticks to them. Consistently plucked the ball away from his body, but also showed the ability to body up, and make tough combat catches. A hard-nosed runner after the catch who will fight for extra yardage, but he simply doesn't have the explosive speed to make breakaway plays. He is an outstanding chain moving, safety valve TE, who can break off chunk yardage rather than take it the distance. Will go down easily by big LB's and DL due to a lack of great bulk. Terrific ball security, and understands when to switch ball to opposite side of body that is going to take impact. Understands that turnovers are the bane of momentum. Extremely intelligent and cerebral player who understands the small details that win a game.
