He's F.A.S.T.

Yes... When he get's moving, it's impressive. Really nice frame, would expect him to grow an inch or two and put on a few lbs in the next year +.

On the other hand, movements don't look super natural... But he's young and growing into his body. We've really hit big on the last 2 TE's in this mold (Irv Smith & Billingsly), no reason to think he's not going to develop into a nice piece

On the other hand, Saban has been quoted saying Amari "reminds me a lot of a younger Julio Jones."

This also reminds me of hearing rival coach's comments about kids who are three star players and get an offer from Bama. They look at it as a bit of a "warning sign" especially when these kids aren't offered by rivals, much less noticed by their coaching staff's. As an analogy, this is another "who the hell is Josh Jacobs" story.
