XE Bruce Figgins of Georgia ~ 6.4/270

"Certainly looks the part. Has a long, well-built frame, is strapped together in the lower half and possesses an NFL-caliber body. Looks natural when asked to sit into his stance as an “on the line Y.” Keeps his base down and can bend. However, isn’t real explosive in anything he does. Has only one gear, isn’t dynamic at all with the ball in his hands and I can’t see him ever separating vs. man in the NFL.
Possesses natural body control and coordination. Does a nice job using his big frame and long arms to extend and pluck the football when open and can catch the football. Has seen time at fullback as well. For his size he coils up well into his stance and attacks the line of scrimmage initially with a good forward lean.
However, because of his size will get a bit high and doesn’t run his legs consistently through contact. Displays decent body control, but will wind up and lean back before heading into contact, allowing defenders to get under him. Doesn’t create much of a surge.
Impression: A good-looking kid who might get a shot as a short yardage/goal line tight end, but he doesn’t play nearly as a physical as his size would indicate. A size free agent only in my mind."
