Tyler Petite, TE, Southern California #82
6033, 250, 4.81
Notes: From Lafayette, CA. His real first name is John. Backup tight end as a freshman; caught 15-145-1 in 2015. Appeared in all 13 games, started 2, and caught 10-156-2 in 2016. Played in all 14 games, started 11, and caught 23-307-3 in 2017.
Positives: Solid pass-catcher with good hands. Above average speed and maneuverability. Can work the short-to-intermediate zones effectively and occasionally sneak downfield. Runs well after the catch. Capable blocker.
Negatives: Has no truly outstanding characteristic. Needs to improve his blocking, particularly in-line.
Summary: Good, not great, all-around pro prospect who can eventually start at the next level.
