Villari is a multi-purpose move tight end with competitive spirit and appealing upside. He’s a former quarterback who has grown into his frame. He’s not strong enough to block in-line, but he has the wiring and effort to project as a space blocker from the slot. The route-running fundamentals are behind but coachable, while his hands and catch radius are already working for him. He has average speed and excellent catch toughness. Villari’s gadget versatility on direct snaps adds a fun twist, but refining his talent as a pass-catcher will determine his long-term value.
Four-year punter who improved at his craft in each season. Stonehouse has a solid leg but lacks booming power. He strikes the ball with adequate consistency and direction but needs to push his hang-time higher to avoid punt returns. Stonehouse’s ability to hang around could depend on his ability to bolster his “inside the 10” numbers instead of being overly aggressive in trying to push punts as close to the goal line as possible.
