Strengths
He is very effective with his route running and knows how to make his cuts when needed. He feels out the defense and exposes them by finding holes for the quarterback. He catches the majority of contested balls thrown his way. Versatile for his position.
Weaknesses
He struggles to gain any separation when he is running his routes. He also loses leverage most of the time when blocking so he gets shoved around easily. Plays with a high pad level so he is ineffective blocking at times.
Big Picture
Troy Fumagalli has the ability to be an effective tight end in two-tight end sets at the next level. He showed that he was a consistent performer that his offense could rely on. While he isn’t the most athletic tight end, he is effective with his route running and finds ways to get open for his quarterback. He won’t get much separation but he has the ability to make contested catches. Small cornerbacks struggled to battle against him for balls. He doesn’t get much push on his blocks but he understands his assignments and will put his body on the defender. I think he can come in as a rookie and contribute as the 2nd or 3rd tight end on the depth chart while being a part of special teams. By his third season he could develop into a starting tight end for a team but won’t be a star at the position. I think he should be a day three pick for a team somewhere in the 5th-6th round range.
