He is strictly a skinny offensive lineman, meaning a tight end who can block... has caught just 20 balls for 153 yards. But his blocking stats are ideal for Mike LaFleur's offense when they are in 12 or 13 personnel.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Long acquired as blocking tight end; minimal receiving role in LaFleur's scheme.

Acquired via trade from Jacksonville Jaguars; 6'-5", 243 pounds. Strictly a blocking tight end (described as 'a skinny offensive lineman') rather than a receiving threat; has caught just 20 balls for 153 yards in five NFL seasons. Ideal for Mike LaFleur's offense in 12 or 13 personnel packages to move the chains with run blocking. Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins will handle the receptions.
