By that I mean he'll run routes that favor him. The more of a tree he can run, the more he'll be used too. Defenses know which guys can only run go routes and posts and will sit on those. So he'll need to show enough variety there in order to be used like a Jimmy Graham type which is his niche IMO.
But a couple really interesting things with him...
1. He's a special teams stud so that insinuates he'll take to blocking well. He won't be contact-shy like so many big athletes are. He will do the work.
2. Even though he's a bit new to football as a "move TE" he's actually not all that raw as a move TE because the time he spent was as a wideout so his passing game prep is a bit better than if he had only played TE. McVay is creative enough to use that. To set him up for success in what he does do well.
Lastly his athleticism is going to scare DBs. That plays into his favor on option routes once he gets to that point. By the time he gets near a DB's feet that dude will be doing something for sure to try to mitigate the speed differential. Question is whether he has the instincts to get really good at option routes and whether he's smart enough too. So long way to go but man am I excited about this guy.
