6070 N/A 2013 Buffalo vs. New York Jets

SUMMARYThis big body TE has the prototypical size for a TE at 6070 280lbs. He shows the ability to find theholes whether working across the field or vertically. He has a good feel for route running concepts andunderstands how to leverage defenders at the top of his stem. Will sit in the holes becoming a big targetfor his QB. He’s able to use his frame to box out defenders in the passing game. Has reliable handsprimarily serving as a check down option in the middle of the field or in the flats. Will stretch himselfout and catch the ball in traffic. Uses his frame to get separation and body positioning to create space.Needs to do a better job using his hands to get off the press. At times this TE struggles getting off theline of scrimmage allowing defenders to get into his chest. Can easily be reroute off his stem. Is slowgetting into his route. This TE is not athletic in the open field and is not a vertical threat to stretchdefenses. Doesn’t show the physicality necessary to win in the blocking game. Should not be countedon to win one on one match ups in the trenches. Doesn’t show the desire to block. Will not capture theedge and most runs go away from this TE allowing him to secure the backside. Is not a run blocker andshould not be counted on to do nothing more than chip an edge rusher.Overall, this TE is one dimensional. He can serve as a dependable check down option, but does notpossess the speed or athleticism to stretch the defense. Primarily works underneath and flats. Showsno desire to block. Many times is substituted for in the run game. Aligns on the backside on themajority of runs. Is passive at the point of contact and absorbs most blocks. Would not be relied uponto neutralize DE’s or get stale mates.

6010 32 5/8 2013 Cleveland vs. Baltimore

SUMMARYA highly skilled WR entrusted by his QB and is the primary focus in the passing game. At 6010 thisWR shows the athleticism and athletic abilities to line up outside the numbers and be a vertical threattaking the top off defenses with his breakaway speed or line up in the slot and work levels finding softspots vs zone. He’s explosive off the line of scrimmage and because of his quickness is able to get intohis routes immediately. Consistently shows the ability to run crossing routes, completing the catch onthe move working different levels. The competitor in him and physical toughness are on display as hecompletes catches across the middle all-knowing a collision will ensue. Shows the balance, dexterityand has an athletic frame at 6010 205 that allows him to have good body control and balance tocomplete the difficult catch within his catch radius. Shows great ability to track the deep ball. Aftercompleting the catch this WR has shown the ability to both gain YAC as well as create YAC. Hasshown on occasion to drop a ball but has a short memory. At times will not show the necessary routediscipline needed. When running the 9 route he doesn’t always get back on his stem and will allow theDB to squeeze him to the sidelines and on crossing routes can be squeezed down not reaching thedesired depth on his route. Needs to show more physicality and the willingness to put a hat on someonedownfield.Overall this WR boarders between a good and very good WR. He has the upside to be a number onefor many years in this league. His athletic ability and great change of direction allow him to create spaceas he explodes in and out of his breaks. He can run all the routes on the route tree and align all over thefield. Has earned the confidence of his QB to be the primary threat and his production is extremelyhigh on 3rd downs.

6010 33 3/8 2013 Tennessee v Houston

SUMMARYA 2nd year, 1st round draft pick out of Clemson who is expected to add depth at the WR position. A physicallygifted WR at 6010 218lbs who has the raw capabilities to be a solid complimentary piece expected to step in andcontribute immediately. Athletic ability is most visible when running routes that require speed cuts to eitherdirection. Shows the ability to have good play speed (straight ahead) with the ability to break the cushion ondeep breaking routes ultimately getting behind defenses. Pass catching ability is average, he will make a cleancatch in space however in tight quarters has shown inconsistencies completing the catch, especially a bad ball.Often times becomes the hot route runner on blitzing downs. Shows the intellect to find the holes versus zone.Plays big on crossing routes, becoming a big target for the QB to locate versus the blitz. Has the ability to gainYAC especially on crossing routes. Has the toughness to be a weapon across the middle. Shows good ballsecurity after contact. Adheres to route running concepts not running to be covered against zone. Shows theability and body torque to adjust to bad balls and body control making difficult catches in stride as well as trackdown the deep ball. Gets off the ball well against a soft press/cover 2. Shows the willingness to block levels inthe downfield run game and shows the ability to get leverage on inside breaking routes. Shows good bodycontrol finding holes and working leverages when running crossing routes, however due to his lack of burstfinds himself too often in a position forced to make the tough catch. Needs to play bigger against a hard man.Can be re-route off his stem disrupting field spacing and QB/WR timing. This receiver struggles runningintermediate routes (5 step game). He struggles getting separation and is slow out of his breaks. Route runninglacks discipline as he doesn’t always get depth required. At times there appears to be a lack of communicationbetween him and his QB leading to negative plays. This prospect will show his disappointment through his poorbody language.Overall, this WR has a high ceiling for growth and improvement. His lack of explosion and quickness in hisroutes could cause this receiver to struggle versus more athletic cover corners. He excels on short/crossingroutes as well as deep routes where he can use his size and straight ahead speed. However, struggles executingthe intermediate game. Also struggles executing the complete route tree often times relying on his size orstraight ahead speed to create space making up for his inadequacies with regards to creating separation andexploding out of cuts.

MEASURABLES

6040 32 5/8 2013 KC vs. Philadelphia Eagles

SUMMARYA 5th year WR drafted in the 5th round out of Florida in the Urban Meyer/Tim Tebow era. A solidpossession receiver that can best be maximized when he is lined up in the slot. A big target 6040230lbs. Shows the capabilities to identify coverages and blitzers and make the appropriate sightadjustments. He has the ability to get off press coverage with no wasted motion or steps. Once theball is in flight will battle and has the ability to make the tough catch. Shows the ability to be able totrack the over the shoulder deep ball. He is not known as speed receiver but has deceptive game speedto get behind the defense. Will compete for the ball but doesn’t show that imposingdominance/aggression attacking the ball at its highest point you look for in a 6040 230 lb. receiver.Shows to be a solid pass catcher catching balls clean in space. Is limited athletically and strugglescreating separation from DBs making for a tight window for QBs. Aligns primarily to the left whichcould hinder his route running (footwork) if asked to align on the right side. Doesn’t show top endspeed consistently, but will use his size to get open finding the holes in the 5 and 7 step passinggames. Because he struggles creating separation will struggle getting open versus cover corners.Plays high and needs to become more fluid in his hips allowing for better breaks in and out of routes.Finds himself in a lot of 50/50 battles for balls because of his inability to create separation out ofbreaks. When he finds himself open will catch it clean.Overall, if put in a system where he is surrounded by talent this prospect shows the ability to be acontributor. He will be a piece to an offense, but should not be heavily relied on to carry the burdenin the receiving game. Is limited athletically but is a cerebral receiver. Do not look to feature him butput him in favorable 1-on-1 matchups ideally in the slot against sub packages and he will beproductive.Should be noted this prospect was the center of controversy for using an inappropriate racial slurgeared towards African Americans. Took a leave from team activities returning for week 1 of the2014 season.

Cover Letter

Page 38: 2015 Player Personnel-Scouting Portfolio

Please find my cover letter and resume as my formal expression of interest in positions available with an NFLorganization within a teams Player Personnel department. I am seeking these opportunities to learn, as well as enhancethe quality of work already done by an organizations Player Personnel department.

Currently, I serve as a NFL Regional Combine Field Director (seasonal) where my primary attention lies in operationsand logistical efforts of regional combines including but not limited to assisting with logistical operations surrounding day of set up andday end breakdown and lead admissions and registration of players at Regional Combines. My secondary responsibilities include evaluatingplayer talent, assist in skill specific drills for Wide Receivers, Defensive Backs and Linebackers. As well as assist at NFL prospect skill stations as it relates torecording times and uploading statistical data. This opportunity has been beneficial in my professional growth however it remainsseasonal.

Previously I worked at the NCAA national office (Leadership Development). My NCAA internship/contractingexperiences allowed me the opportunity to do extensive work with collegiate football coaches. I had the opportunitiesto be on the planning and programming committees for the NCAA/NFL Life Skills Summit assisting NFL PlayerDevelopment staff. I also aided all programming for the NCAA Football Coaches Academy, Experts Football CoachesAcademy, and Champions program all with a focus of collegiate coaching development and career progression forcoaches. These programs expanded my coaching network and professional relationships by allowing for direct contactwith hundreds of collegiate Head Coaches, Associate Head Coaches, Coordinators and position coaches.

Prior to that, I served as a Football Operations Graduate Assistant at Millersville University. There I planned,coordinated, and carried out home football game-day operations, as well as serve as liaison for visiting teams andofficials. I also assisted in coordinating team and staff travel (ground and air), managed team meals, set hotelreservations, and distributed per diem. I coordinated daily team practice scripts as well as operational logistics aroundfield set-up, team drills, and planned and executed several aspects of team preseason training camp. I also had an integralrole in organizing and implementing special events such as the spring Black and Gold football game, served as NFL Pro-day coordinator and scout liaison, as well as coordinated team community service and youth activities.

Additionally, my experiences as a football student-athlete at Kent State University and Hampton University have laid asolid foundation for my football knowledge and perspectives. At Kent State, I played wide receiver in a sophisticatedpro-style offense, base three receiver set, which required me to understand and execute pre-snap reads, audibling, andhot receiver concepts. I am adept at film critique, assessment of opponents’ strengths and weaknesses, and attentivenessto team and individual tendencies by down, distance, and field position. Upon transferring to Hampton University, Iwas converted to tight end in a pro-style, run oriented offense. Here, I advanced my diversified understanding ofdefenses critiquing secondaries, linebackers, and defensive line tendencies. After graduating, I was invited to attend whatis now known as the NFL Regional Combine, later earning a tryout with the Cincinnati Bengals.

I have had the opportunity to play and learn from several great teachers of football. My former coaches include LeeGissendaner (Green Bay Packers Scout), Eric Studesville (Denver Broncos Coach), Dean Pees (Baltimore RavensCoach), Tony Alford (Notre Dame Coach), Forrest Gregg, and Joe Taylor (former Hampton University and FloridaA&M Head Coach). Charley Molnar (University of Massachusetts Head Coach) and Billy Gonzalez (University ofIllinois Offensive Coordinator) had a profound impact on my football knowledge, as Molnar was my OffensiveCoordinator and Gonzalez was my Wide Receiver coach.

As a former football student-athlete, Football Operations Graduate Assistant, NCAA intern/contractor, and currentseasonal NFL employee I understand the integral role that complementary personnel play in organizational success.Through my experiences I will learn, as well as add value to the quality of work already done by an organization.

Thank you in advance for your consideration. Please know that I am available to discuss this opportunity with you. Ican be reached by phone at 717-324-2527, or via email at [email protected].
