Josiah Deguara | Tight End | Cincinnati | 6'2" - 242 lbs.

Overview
Hard-nosed move tight end who will garner consideration as an NFL H-back. He's a gritty blocker who plays with good positioning and works hard at sustaining blocks to help his run game. As a pass catcher, Deguara is sure-handed with good feel for soft spots against zone, but may need an accurate thrower due to contested catch likelihood and suspect catch radius. He's the type of Day 3 prospect who flies under the radar, but ends up becoming a solid contributor at H-back.

Strengths

• Takes run-blocking duties to heart
• Good angles up to second level and squares his target
• Finds his block fit and sustains with balance and footwork
• Counted on to help seal the edge in run game
• Basketball feel and fluidity in his route breaks
• Stems defenders out of place with sharp head fakes
• Monitors safeties and surveys spacing against zone
• Races to soft spots and demands the football
• Catches what is thrown at him and rarely has focus drop

Weaknesses

• Inconsistent hand placement at point of attack
• Gets grabby outside of the frame to finish
• Needs better pad level to create point of leverage
• May not have speed to consistently threaten the seam
• Has a little too much sauce in his routes
• Could struggle to separate against NFL man coverage
• Rigid in his body adjustments to throws outside the frame
• Lacks creativity after the catch and tends to bull forward

Very freaking cool to see.

since they might of been thinking they would
have to wait until the next day to see him get drafted.

these kind of moments make you smile.
