Round 3(b) - Carolina Panthers Select Notre Dame TE Tommy Tremble

[Zod 669,973]

Carolina Panthers Select Notre Dame TE Tommy Tremble.

 

Overview

Highly intriguing early entry tight end who appears to be scratching the surface of his future impact. He's not the same level of player, but Tremble's blocking toughness and athletic profile are reminiscent of Kellen Winslow Jr.'s when he entered the league. Tremble is a gritty, capable blocker at the point of attack and will really move the needle as a lead and move blocker in space. However, he lacks development as a route runner and has hands that fail to inspire confidence as a pass catcher. His versatility as a run blocker will allow offensive coordinators to shift him around formations and create favorable matchups in the passing game. If he's able to simply improve his hands status to average, his speed and athleticism should create chunk play opportunities. He has Day 2 value with Day 1 upside.

 

 

Strengths

• Feisty play demeanor suits his love of contact.
• Activated as blocker from a variety of formations.
• Uses athletic talent to gain positioning after initial strike.
• Accelerates and crashes into targets as lead blocker.
• Smooth block-to-block transition to open the edge for outside run.
• Blocking talent opens up play-action opportunities.
• Athletic ability and speed stand out as pass catcher.
• Bursts off the snap and races into route.
• Basketball movement for easy route adjustments in traffic.
• Can separate on second- and third-level routes.
• Vast improvement from 2019 with contested catches.
• Talent and athleticism for some pass protection asks.

Weaknesses

• Just 35 career catches for 401 yards.
• Gives away short routes with altered initial speed.
• Needs quicker sink and open versus short zone.
• Double catches and drops are a concern.
• Had more drops than touchdowns at Notre Dame.
• Still learning to fit up block with proper platform and pad level.
• Needs quiet, efficient hands at the point of attack.

This is going to help the rest of the offence

Is this how Brady uses his TE? if he’s brought in to be an elite blocker in our scheme seems like a great pick 

[Missouri Cat Fan 38]

Hmm very interesting. Old school TE

[Daddy_Uncle 9,637]

Looks like the type of physical player that can quickly become a fan favorite. Should be interesting to see how he used

Love this pick. Replaces Armah and gives us a wrinkle out of the back field we haven’t had since Tolbert.
