I taped the Mizzu - Illinios game and watched Coffman carefully. He is a big kid, the TV announcers said he was 6'7" and 245, but I think he is a couple of inches shorter and maybe a little lighter.
Mizzu plays in a funky spread offense, so it was difficult to scout him effectively, as I would have preferred to be on the sidelines.
I did notice that Coffman has NFL hands. He can pluck the ball with the best of them. He runs decent routes, although he floats at times and does round off routes quite a bit.
He absolutely can not block. Not a lick, he is a leaner and not even good at that. I also do not think he is as fast as advertised, he is maybe 4.7 range.
And lastly, he does not appear to have much courage in the physical game. (Maybe he is dinged up and I did not know it.) He had several opportunities to put his head down and barrell through guys for extra yards, instead he tried jumping over them or peeling off for the sidelines.
He reminds me of a taller version of a former Patriot Pro Bowl TE - Cook, from B-BP era, before Bill Parcells. I love Coffman's hands, but I just wish he was more nasty. Maybe if we take him, he can room with Mankins and some of Mankin's nastiness will rub off on Coffman.
