IN GENERAL

Jack Westover is a cut down older prospect who profiles well as a “on the move” tight end.

Westover is on the smaller side of things, standing at 6’3″ and 243 pounds. His short arms and wingspan only exacerbate that. Westover isn’t built like a standard Y-tight end who blocks downhill and wins like disputed reception security.

At the same time, Westover moves fluidly. He is an agile athlete with enough speed to be a nuisance in the open field. Westover is also a clean pass catcher. While he doesn’t look for the ball in the air, he catches passes without breaking stride and knows how to find the ball out of his frame.

Westover can also be useful as a blocker despite his size. Westover’s athleticism makes him valuable for moving blocks, such as cutting through the formation to kick the backfield or advancing into space. Westover also blocks with good effort and technique.

Westover can be a solid backup tight end playing off the ball. His movement skills in space and his useful motion-based blocking profile give him a clear role in the league.

QUALIFICATION: 5.7 (Reserve/Draftable – 6th/7th round)
