| Coby Fleener Scouting Report |
| Coby Fleener - Stanford (HT: 6-6 - WT: 247) |
Positives -- The best route running tight end in the class, makes sharp cuts and has a great head fake... Has really good size; just a tough matchup in general with his blend of size and speed... Excellent in the red zone, uses his size and leaping ability to bring in anything close to him... Comes from a pro
style system in Stanford where he was asked to do many of the same things that NFL coaches will expect from him... Tremendous hands, the ball just seems to stick whenever it comes in contact... Good body control, can make catches on poorly thrown balls look easy... Top notch footwork, you can really tell the hard work that he has put in to get quicker... Will always fight for those extra yards... Football intelligence is very high, knows exactly where to find the holes in zone defenses and where to sit... Runs with long strides, makes him seem faster than he really is... Dominates safeties and linebackers when run blocking... Very versatile, Stanford put him all over the field and he was tough to stop anywhere... Played with a great quarterback in Andrew Luck who used him as a safety valve, could be asked to play the same role if drafted to a team with a young quarterback... Finished his career with 96 receptions for 1,543 yards (16.1 yards per completion) and 18 touchdowns, with over 70 percent of that yardage and all but one touchdown coming in the last two seasons.
Negatives -- Not as physical as you would expect in blocking or receiving... Doesn't use his strength to get open, relies a lot on his intelligence and route running... Lacks the strength to be an effective blocker on lineman, needs to work on his technique, doesn't play to his weight room strength... Doesn't have great speed, and it takes him a couple of seconds to reach that top gear... May have already reached his full potential and there may not be that much room for him to grow... Does a lot of things well but doesn't stand out in any one category... Was unable to run at the combine due to sprained right ankle suffered in the Fiesta Bowl; at his pro day, slipping running 3-cone and had ankle re-taped.
