#87 Noah Gray HIGHLIGHTS (2019)

Strengths: He is a versatile tight-end that can play several positions on the offensive side of the ball. He was used as an inline tight-end, fullback, and also as a slot receiver. He can be used as a blocker who could seal a defender inside or out at the tight end. As a receiver, he has excellent reliable hands and makes difficult catches. The next level will be a perfect fit as a hybrid tight-end that can outmatch most linebackers. He has relatively good speed with incredible short field explosiveness. He can find the soft spots in the defense and get open. He is not afraid to mix it up in traffic and make those inside catches. 

Weaknesses: He tends to get dominated by the more prominent and physical rusher and needs to add more strength to his frame, primarily his lower body. He tends to struggle off the line of scrimmage with physical safety or linebackers, compromising his routes. He needs to polish up on his route running because he telegraphs his routes allowing the defender to make plays on the ball. He does not have elite speed, even though he can get vertical. Need to work on being more affected the catch, tends to settle for the possession.

Draft Projection: 5th - 7th Round

NFL Comparison: Jacob Hollister (Seattle Seahawks)
