Spencer Nead


Height: 6-4

Weight: 259

Position: TE

College: Brigham Young

Drafted: Pick 20 of the 7th round by New England
Analysis
Positives: Has good overall athleticism, with the speed, body control and quickness to be effective in the short areas as a receiver...Shows good take-off speed in his release, coming out of his stance cleanly with no wasted motions...Has the ability to avoid the initial tackle on the move...Good route runner who finds the holes in the zone...shows good concentration on the ball, especially when going for the pigskin in traffic...Makes proper body adjustments and extends his hands to catch away from the body's frame...Times his leaps to get to the ball at its high point...Runs hard and strong to break arm tackles...Strong enough to defeat the jams and has decent acceleration to be effective on flats and option routes...Good contact blocker for the ground game, getting proper hand placement to redirect (better blocking for the running attack when operating from the full- back or H-back positions)...Shows good ball security after the catch.
Negatives: Needs to improve his overall strength, as the larger pass rushers tend to wash him back into the quarterback in pass protection...Lacks explosion and pop coming out of his stance and looks awkward when having to kick slide in his pass set...Has adequate quickness off the line, but does not have top-end speed to be effective on deep routes (better on curls and flats)...Lacks technique, strength and leg drive to neutralize line- backers at the second level...Needs to improve his route running skills and must learn to use his head and shoulder fakes to better sell and con in his patterns...Runs hard after the catch, but is not elusive.

Effective receiver, especially on swing passes and check-downs...Has good shake to make the defender miss...Finishes his runs with good body lean, getting most of his yardage after the initial hits, getting good production as a chain mover.
