Dalton Keene, Virginia Tech

TE9

STRENGTHS

—Plays everything at full speed, as hard as he can; special teams coaches will love his effort.

—Great depth addition; can play H-back, fullback, in-line, slot and special teams, and could probably play defense, too.

—Good vision to find his blocking assignment and keep them out of the play; was the lead blocker on most Virginia Tech runs.

—Violent runner after the catch; can also hit defenders with a little wiggle to keep them off-balance.

—More athletic than given credit for and still young (21) after entering the draft early.
