Mark Andrews

wall-off blocker who currently lacks the upper body strength and nastiness in his play to provide much help in this role, struggling to sustain blocks for long. accustomed to working in space and is too easily knocked off his route by physical defenders. can be a bit lazy with his routes, rounding them off rather than exploding out of his cuts. some drops on tape, though these appeared to be momentary lapses in concentration as he was looking to make a defender miss as the ball arrived... has type 1 diabetes and monitors blood sugar levels several times per game. - rob rang 1/11/2018

COMPARES TO

zach ertz, eagles - like the 6-5, 250 pound ertz (who played his collegiate ball at stanford), andrews played in a tight end-friendly offense at oklahoma, allowing him to rack up impressive numbers. neither is the glass-eating 6th offensive lineman some teams are looking for at tight end but each possesses the agility and speed to threaten the seam, as well as the ultra-soft hands to excel in the red zone.

IN OUR VIEW

former receiver who grew into the tight end position and possesses the frame to add at least another 10 pounds without a significant loss of quickness. possesses broad shoulders and a tapered, athletic frame with good overall weight distribution. good initial quickness off the snap with active hands to gain a clean release, showing the light feet and easy change of direction to generate separation as a short an intermediate target. good speed for the position, possessing enough burst to attack down the seam. reliable hands receiver, extending his arms away from his body to easily pluck the ball. shows good hand strength and concentration to secure the ball even with defenders draped on him, as well as the flexibility in his core to adjust to low and high passes. competitive after the catch, showing enough agility and speed to elude and run away from defenders as well as the strength and determination to lower his shoulder to bulldoze his way through would-be tacklers. improved awareness and positioning as a blocker in 2017. -- rob rang 1/11/2018
