Overview

Clay was an ultra productive pass catching fullback in Tulsa's spread offense. He is a powerful runner that gets the difficult yards between the tackles and consistently finds running lanes due to good vision. He frequently lined up at tight end at Tulsa and was a difficult matchup for defensive backs. However, he is a bit of a man without a position, as he does not have the blocking skills to lead a heavy running attack or the refined receiving skills to be a tight end. Overall, Clay has enough athleticism to make an NFL roster and should be a middle round draft pick.

Analysis

Strengths

Clay is an athletic fullback that is a weapon in the receiving game. Possesses good lateral agility and makes people miss in the open field. Delivers powerful shots blocking and shows good leg drive. Strong enough to push the pile in short yardage situations and can break tackles in the secondary.

Weaknesses

Lacks proper blocking technique and struggles to sustain blocks. Misses assignments at times in pass protection. Runs a bit high and does not always fight for extra yards to finish runs. Does not have reliable hands and lets the ball get inside his body too often. Needs to sharpen his route running.

70-84 Eventual Starter 2nd-3rd A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position.

20-49 Free Agent UDFA A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body.
