Wasn’t asked to run many routes like dig, post, deep out
Summary: Hernandez won’t fit a lot of schemes that ask him to be an in-line blocker. He lacks the measurables and all-around skill set to go in the first round in my opinion, but a great 40 time and vertical could intrigue some team to take him late first. Hernandez has some very intriguing tools, but his greatest weakness is when he is taken off the field, the defense will likely know it’s a running play. Hernandez lacks some polish and I don’t expect him to be an immediate contributor.
Player Comparison: Dustin Keller. Keller was a great receiving threat out of Purdue with below-average size for a tight end – a poor in-line blocker.
