Jackson Hawes is his own sort of X-factor, a guy who can take on defenders in the trenches like Patrick Ricard, but then also flank out to catch a pass with some of the softest hands you'll find in the game. He was nearly automatic catching passes as a rookie last season, even in the end zone.

Hawes is an X-factor tight end/fullback hybrid with soft hands, nearly automatic as rookie.

Hawes is described by Matthew Byham as his own sort of X-factor who can take on defenders in the trenches like Patrick Ricard but also flank out to catch passes with soft hands. He was nearly automatic catching passes as a rookie last season, even in the end zone. The Bills passed on a traditional fullback because Hawes fills that role while also providing pass-catching ability, making him a key part of their 13 personnel packages.
