Rory Anderson NFL Draft 2015: Scouting Report, Grade for 49ers' Rookie

STRENGTHS

An athletic, moving tight end with eye-opening speed, Rory Anderson can keep defensive coordinators up at night. Anderson can stretch the field vertically and has the goods to take the top off the defense. He adjusts to the ball well and has high-pointing ability on jump balls. After the catch, he’s dangerous with the ball in his hands and moves more like a wide receiver than a tight end. Teams will love his versatility and the fact that he’s a mismatch with alignment flexibility. Anderson is a classic seam-buster at tight end.

WEAKNESSES

Injuries limited his career at South Carolina.
