Trey McBride TE Colorado St

STRENGTHS
Trey has the eye/hand coordination, of a Las Vegas magician. He can catch a pass that most receivers would struggle to catch. He wants to catch the ball and then punish whoever tries to tackle him. He is a passionate blocker and a passionate run after the catch type of receiver. Trey is a solid in-line blocker, because of his passion to dominate and intimidate the player in front of him. He has good size to block but his success when blocking comes from his wiliness to compete and passion to dominate. Trey has the talent to be an impact offensive player and a fan favorite for the team that selects him.

CONCERNS
Trey is very tight in the hips and lacks the lateral agility and change of direction talent to block in open spaces and run all the routes. When he lines up as an inline blocker and gets beat off the snap, he panics and commits penalties. Because of his lack of lateral agility, Trey will have to learn how to use his body against single coverage to separate. Also, Trey struggles to get into his routes quickly and with some explosiveness, when he is coming out of a three-point stance. Nevertheless, Trey will be outstanding catching the ball and making punishing RAC yardage against zone coverages for sure.

BOTTOM LINE: 2.67
Until Trey learns how to run routes better, changing gears and using his body, he will struggle against single coverages in spite of the fact that he can catch contested passes. As far as to pass blocking, he will struggle if left alone, out in space. Trey will need help when pass blocking, and have to learn more finesse to keep himself on balance. Trey’s passion to make a block is a gift and a curse because, in spite of his success at the college level, it has kept him from learning better techniques and also understanding his own limitations physically when blocking. Trey has a lot to learn but he seems to have an excellent work ethic. His ability to catch the ball like a magician and his punishing style of run after the catch skill level is unique. That is what he truly will bring to the next level to become an impacting, fan-favorite, type of player for the team that selects him.
