SCOUTING REPORT
Michael Mayer is an elite-level TE prospect possessing the prototypical TE size to play an inline role at the NFL level. When mainstream football analysts allude to his pro-ready NFL ability, they are referencing his ability to play a traditional inline role combined with the versatility to be flexed wide or in the move TE (H-Back) style role. As mentioned above, Mayer is an elite-level pass-catching TE who can provide versatility as a blocker in the run game.
