How he plays

Play style

Reliable target who converts on critical downs. Not flashy; consistently productive.

CFB Index positional classification

Money down · 3rd-down role

Catch rate says one thing, EPA says another

checked · no story

5/223rd-down conversions

0.303rd-down EPA/target

0.57Other-downs EPA/target

10 of 22 caught on third down (45.5%) — EPA/target 0.30 vs 0.57 elsewhere (5 conversions).

Catch rate is disclosed context only, never the gate — conversions and EPA/target are. Interception targets carry no attribution row at any source, so EPA/target here is unfixably, slightly inflated.
