And KC isn't exactly a pass heavy offense.Dunno about this. Butt is still out there and can be had under contract for 4 years. Younger and better but what the hell do I know.
What I do know is most TE who have been in the league this long (2015) and have been on a good team and have never been heard of? Yeah, not a good sign.

ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
Athletic with ability to stress the seam and challenge vertically. Uses acceleration out of cuts and clever hand usage to create quick throwing windows. Hands-catcher who plucks it away from his body. Outstanding focus with ability to finish contested catches. Foot quickness to get into routes in a hurry and shake defenders after the catch. Will work himself open if covered. Gets feet into proper position as a blocker and gives honest effort.
WEAKNESSES
Shows some hip tightness when opening up and running downfield. Upright into his routes. Doesn't always find the best spots in the zone. Will allow zone windows to close on quarterback rather than working his way to safer positioning. Thin lower body. Will need to hit weights if he wants to be able to play inline on a consistent basis.
DRAFT PROJECTION
Round 4 or 5
SOURCES TELL US
"Good player. I love his play speed and the way he competes hard on every throw his way." -- Former NFL TE and current coach
BOTTOM LINE
"Basketball" tight end with plus foot quickness, concentration, hands and vertical ability. He can elevate and compete for jump balls while creating space for himself with his quickness. His blocking is a work in progress, but he could end up being a highly productive Day 3 draft pick if a team utilizes his talent properly.
