Leggett is a talented tight end that got quite used to the spotlight playing at Clemson and became a favorite of Watson during the 2016 championship campaign. Leggett has quick feet, outstanding size, and even better hands. He has the ability to become a big-time tight end in the league if you can keep him motivated.

Leggett drifts at times and loses focus and doesn’t always give it his all, especially if he knows he’s not involved in the play. You can’t teach motivation, but hopefully the desire to play football for multiple years (and make millions of dollars) is enough to keep Leggett motivated enough.

If Leggett’s attitude was better, he’d be just as high of a prospect as Adam Shaheen, who was taken 110 picks before this one. The value here would have been tremendous for Pace and the Bears.
