— Poor short-area movement skills. Too often struggles to reach landmarks on blocks.

— Lacks the quickness or explosiveness to be a snappy route-runner. Struggles to uncover from defenders.

Brevyn Spann-Ford is a de facto sixth offensive lineman with functional receiving ability in the underneath area.

Spann-Ford is a hulking mass of man at 6'6½" and 260 pounds. As expected of that body type, Spann-Ford is a serious blocker at the point of attack. He plays with overwhelming strength for a tight end and supports that strength with high energy. He doesn't shy away from burying defensive ends or working viciously on double-teams.

At the same time, Spann-Ford struggles on movement blocks and blocks out in space. He is not a nimble mover, and he struggles to adjust aiming points.

Receiving-wise, Spann-Ford is mostly a security blanket. His frame gives him a natural advantage over many safeties and linebackers in terms of his ability to shield the ball and haul it in. Spann-Ford also shows decent concentration and hands in traffic.

Spann-Ford is not dynamic at all as a receiver, though. He runs well in a straight line for his size, but he still isn't fast. Spann-Ford also lacks the change-of-direction skills or explosiveness to uncover himself from defenders, especially in man coverage. He offers very little creation ability with the ball in his hands as well.

Spann-Ford is a viable TE3 with short-yardage and red-zone-blocking capabilities. The ceiling on his game is severely limited by his athletic profile, but there is a clear role for his skill set in the NFL. Teams that want to assert themselves in the ground game, especially from under center, will be the best landing spots for Spann-Ford.
