I think I'm going to take the word of numerous well known evaluators who disagree with all of that. He's not the fastest or the best athlete in the class but there's a reason he's regarded as one if not the top TE in the class. He has a very similar athletic profile to Mark Andrews and Mayer is considered a good route runner who knows how to use his body and can win 1 on 1. He may not get seperation on straight line routes but he can set his man up with moves. Plus he's an able enough blocker which is a big part of how the Bengals use them.
