Analysis
The positives on Matavao is that he has the “prototypical” size for a tight end, he has good quickness with fluid movements, and is good at running after catch. On the other end, his speed decreases as a route progresses, he doesn’t adjust to inaccurate throws, and needs to improve his blocking technique.
