I recently watched Nic Dilillo?s junior tape. I was impressed with him as a receiver. He catches anything he can reach. He has a long lean body, perfect for packing on the right kind of weight. He is bigger than last year. Not just heavier but he looks taller. I see him blossoming as an athlete. He is the one of the four tight ends we are talking about that is most football ready to play. He is right at home working the middle of the field like a classic tight end. He runs the routes that you need a tight end to run. The short underneath stuff, the button hooks and such that are the meat and potatoes of the tight end position. He plays physical. He seems to relish that part of the game. He knows what to do with it after the catch. He gets north and south quickly. We started talking about alot of juniors early. There are a number of names out there but the ones that are not getting the attention they deserve are Nathan Williams, Justin Staples and Nic Dilillo. The coaching staffs have noticed him. Dilillo has been a guest of Ohio State, Michigan and Pitt. If he runs great at combines this summer his stock will soar. That is something he is aware of and working hard on. Dilillo will have no problem qualifying.
