Exactly but NFL executives put stock in this shit for some reason.

Mayer is plenty fast enough for a tight end, runs good routes, makes contested catches, and is a hell of a tight end.

I wonder how the Bengals are evaluating the position? Does Mayer not exhibiting the superior athleticism at the combine cause the Bengals to lose interest?

It would be soooo interesting to be in the room when Duke and others discuss the players.

Mayer’s strengths, like you pointed out, are mostly intangibles.

He may not have blown teams away with his speed or anything but he’s a hell of a tight end and will be Burrow’s best friend.
