Coffman TE Missouri #45 |
| Ht:
6'6
Wt: 244
| |
| Strengths: |
| Ideal height for a pass-catching
tight end. Adequate bulk and strength. Has the frame to put on more weight. An
elite pass catcher for the position (more receptions than any other tight end
in D-I history). Gives a decent effort as a blocker. |
| Weaknesses:
|
| Speed is below average;
won't be nearly the threat in the passing game that he was at Missouri. Blocking
technique is average. Doesn't have much experience blocking, especially considering
he was a four-year starter. Serious injury risk; suffered multiple foot and ankle
injuries throughout his career. |
| Comments:
|
| Father played tight
end of the Packers and Chiefs...Coffman had a very productive college career but
there are some questions about his ability to translate that success to the pro
level. He clearly has the size and the hands to be an effective receiver. His
below average speed, however, is a serious detractor. He'll need to learn to be
more physical and a better blocker to succeed in the NFL. |
