CARY ANGELINE | North Carolina State | TE | 6 | rSr | 6055 | 254 | 4.89 | Chester Springs, PA | Dowington East
Overview:
After beginning his career at USC, Angeline has seen his production begin to skyrocket as a part of the NC State program, leading to a career high 25 receptions for 379 yards and five touchdowns. Angeline followed up that standout first season by accounting for 412 yards and six touchdowns on 27 receptions. Amongst a struggling Wolfpack passing attack, the box score doesn’t tell the full story. With outstanding length with an imposing frame, Angeline offers a headache for undersized defenders tasked with covering him. He has all the ability to climb the ladder and win at the catch point. Angeline is also an underrated linear athlete who has enough juice to threaten vertically. The moment he steps onto an NFL field, he will be a huge weapon in the red zone… quite literally. While his overall athletic profile looks adequate enough, there is almost no flexibility to his game. He struggles to get in and out of his breaks, limiting his versatility. He has the frame to get it done in the run game but it is a real work in progress right now. There is a lack of power in his lower half to establish and maintain leverage. With some added improvement, Angeline has enough physical tools to be looked at as a draftable prospect in a weak senior tight end group.
