Appears to be running very slow. I am unaware if it is due to his size/weight ratio since that was updated last season.

I believe his speed is good where it is at after I 2nd cap it. I am wondering if I should put more points into route running SA? His Run blocking appears to be great with such low blocking and he usually goes out for a pass on passing downs so pass blocking usually isnt an issue. With that being said, should I start training carrying/confidence to start breaking more tackles, or should I train Stamina/confidence to keep his moral up to keep his speed up?

IMO good teams will always use te1/2 in their ai, and have extremely fast receiving tight ends and blocking specialists.

No, but your going to have to keep working on speed and agility. both to at least 60 cap, then track star maxed.

before your build become viable though, carrying will have to go way up. consider soft capping it, as your obviously looking to break tackles. consider also the STR based break tackle VAs before or after quick. I think your going to have to sacrifice vision, probably leave that completely alone for awhile

interesting build, but I thinking your looking at late 30's before it shapes up. oh, and lay off sticky hands, route run and quick cut are nifty though

I think Sticky Hands would be more useful for what he wants.

meh, I had a sticky hands AEQ that I was pretty disappointed in. switched to a catching % AEQ and noticed a night and day difference. I just don't see sticky hands worth an investment after it costs 3 SP over just increasing catching. I think routue run is his best option becuase hell need the help to get open with such an investment in STR.
