Overview: Massive catch radius, acrobatic catcher, big time YAC threat with up field fluidity, wants to make you miss, action initiating with spins and even hurdles, uses his frame to separate intermediately but has the foot speed to put together moves and or jab into space. slows down when he chops during option routes, more successful jabbing into space or double moving in rhythm, Kelce like movement making him a fun piece to utilize in an offense especially in the red zone.
