C.J. Uzomah NFL Draft 2015: Scouting Report for Bengals Rookie

STRENGTHS

A versatile tight end who impresses when he walks into the room, C.J. Uzomah can line up in-line, in the slot, in the backfield or at wide receiver. The Auburn offense asked him to be a chess piece, and he filled the role well. Uzomah’s background as a wide receiver shows up in his ability to haul in contested catches. He has soft hands and is determined to make the ball his.

WEAKNESSES

Uzomah wasn’t invited to the combine, which is a concern given his athleticism and program size. The Auburn offense did him no favors, and he was never featured in the passing game, which makes him a very raw route-runner heading to the NFL.
