I really like this dude. He's got a big frame and he knows how to use it. You see him shielding defenders away from his frame, as well as climbing the ladder to get balls thrown upstairs. I also love his feet. Not only is he big enough and physical enough to play bully-ball, but he's also very quick into and out of his breaks which makes him all the more difficult to cover. He hails from an offense thats supposedly predicated on running the ball (which means he wouldn't see the field unless he can block), but that doesn't seem to have kept him from running his routes with sharpness and precision. What I really like about this dude the most is the way he catches the ball. He plucks it out of the air with his hands. He doesn't let the ball travel all the way into his torso, relying on his body as a shield (a la Plax). He snatches that sucker out the air with his long arms and big hands.

Quick would be a nice fit with the Jets. He's a big, physical presence thats well schooled in run blocking. He's not a burner, but he's got good speed and uses his long strides to get deep down field. His height and ball skills make him tough to handle on the deep stuff. But he's also got the wide body and foot-quickness to be a beast to handle on the short, underneath stuff.
