Positive signalRole
Royer positioned as TE2 with Travis Kelce comparisons and elite ball skills.
Rookie tight end positioned as TE2 alongside Harold Fannin in Todd Monken's offense, which runs heavy 12 and 13 personnel with frequent two-tight-end sets; has drawn Travis Kelce comparisons despite not being an early-round pick; demonstrates exceptional body control and spatial awareness with ability to contort and catch poorly-thrown passes; creates good separation on intermediate throws and generates strong yards-after-catch; zero drops last year and comfortable going over the middle; best attribute is ball skills; needs tutelage in blocking but is a good teammate; Royer and Fannin could form a productive duo.
