Agreed that Mayer isn't overly fast for a TE. He might do well in the agility drills though, from what some speculate.
Per this source, the average speed and agility times for a TE:
40 - 4.73
shuttle - 4.41
3-cone - 7.1

From PFT's scouting report - https://www.profootballnetwork.com/michael-mayer-te-notre-dame-nfl-draft-scouting-report/
Quote:With a high school official 4.84-second 40-yard dash that will likely translate to a 4.7 next March, Mayer won’t win any straight-line races. Yet, he’s impressively quick for his size. He’s by no means a lumbering mover. In fact, he showcased quick feet and the ability to accelerate well with no discernible drop-off in speed or acceleration during transitions. Meanwhile, Mayer has showcased excellent lateral agility.
Ultimately, I really want to see how Mayer runs at the Combine/Pro Day.
The above metrics are good baselines for him.
Here are Kyle Pitts' metrics for comparison:
40 - 4.44
shuttle - 4.35
3-cone - 7.12
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
