0 TD's in his entire career at Ole Miss?

That's an interesting player to trade up for...

Interesting article on Dawson

 

Knox’s ability as a receiver should get him on the field early as a rookie. In a class filled with a few stud tight end prospects, Knox could end up being the best of the bunch.

I was very happy with EO and Ford, but the last 2 have absolutely sucked.

NFL Comparison
Kyle Rudolph
Overview
Outstanding combination of measurables and traits, but he's much more moldable clay than game-ready prospect at this point. Knox lacks early speed and short-area quickness which could limit his ability to uncover underneath but he's much more dangerous when allowed to roam the middle of the field as a more linear route-worker. His pass-catching production may never matchup with the testing numbers, but his aggressiveness and talent as a run-blocker could provide him work as a combo tight end for years to come.
Strengths
  • Carries NFL-caliber frame along with him
  • Workout freak-daddy with good explosion and speed numbers
  • Flexible hips to sink and expedite his whip routes
  • Tracks and adjusts to the throw
  • Build-up speed is impressive
  • Catches it away from his frame in space
  • Competitive runner after catch
  • Can make a tackler miss or hit them with some power
  • Accurate, heavy hands at point of attack
  • Strikes with leverage and churns feet looking to bury his man
  • Punches with good extension in pass pro
  • Gives good effort to stay in front of rusher.
Weaknesses
  • Workout testing doesn't manifest itself on tape often enough
  • Pace can be a little sluggish underneath
  • Route turns and breaks lack desired burst
  • Never scored a touchdown in college
  • Will get out-breaking routes jumped
  • Has dealt with nagging injuries since high school
  • Bad blocking reps usually involve lunging
  • Needs to keep head back and see what he's striking

"Honestly, I thought they could have gotten way more out of him than they did. They've got all those mouths to feed but he should have had more tastes. And I like the effort in the run game. Dog qualities to him." - NFC area scout

So I guess this is just one of those "high motor" and "high character" guys?

 

Averaged a whopping 19.5 receptions and 302.5 yards the past 2 seasons,  with a combined total of 0 TD's his entire college career....

I know stats aren't everything, but nothing screams "this guy won't be here by the time our next pick rolls around, better trade up now!"

Can’t say I know much about him. 

 

From what they said on ESPN it sounds like he needs a lot of development? 

But has a high ceiling? 

 

Seems like Beane likes those high ceiling picks and trusts his coaching staff to develop guys.
