The more I watch and research Brenton Strange the more I like him. He is extremely athletic and is an exceptional blocker. While the following are simple analytics consider them:

Hayden Hurst                  Brenton Strange
       6'5"          height                  6'4"
      250           weight                 253
      4.67             40                     4.70
      1.59          10 yd split           1.57
      31.5"           vertical              36"
       10'           broad jump         10'4"  
      7.19            3 cone                7.25
      4.37          20 yd shut.          4.46
        3            receiving TD*        10
      12.8          yds per rec.*        10.7

* stats taken from 3 latest seasons as Hurst played 3 and Strange played 4.

Strange has become lost in a very good class of TEs. Above the posted is a highlight video but watch how he makes himself visible to the QB when the QB is in trouble and watch his pure athletic ability, the football IQ he displays, and that he appears to be a pretty natural receiver.

For comparison, Drew Sample:
height - 6'4"
weight - 255 lb
40 - 4.71
10 split - 1.64
vert - 33.5"
broad - 9'7"
3-cone - 7.15
shuttle - 4.31
YPR - 10.6
TDs - 5
