The AGM-65 Maverick is defined as a tactical, air-to-surface guided missile designed for close air support. It provides stand-off capability and high probability of strike against a wide range of tactical targets. I relate this weapon to highly touted TE Orson Charles.
Charles doesn't necessarily have the measurables of a prototypical TE. Standing at 6' 3", you would like to add a few more inches to that number. He does weigh a stout 230 lbs, which is a nice number. Because of his size, look for Charles to be moved all over the field as kind of a hybrid TE/WR, or line up in the TE Flex position. Charles is going to allow Bobo to be extremely creative in designing plays for him, that is for sure.
Coming out of Plant HS in Tampa, Charles was Aaron Murray's (The Pilot) favorite target. The pair put together ridiculous numbers in their 2 seasons together, especially in the games they played together last year. Hopefully this relationship will transfer to Athens, where the lack of a go-to TE option has been evident over the last couple of seasons.
We have already discussed Orson's size, but lets dig a little deeper. For a kid his size, he does have good speed running a 4.55 40 yd dash, and can go up and get the ball with his 35 in. vertical. His numbers, are sickening. His senior season at Plant, Charles caught 75 passes for 1421 yds and 21 td's; averaging a little under 19 yds per catch. Ending the year with a 6 catch 135 yd, 2 td day in the state championship game.
Even with just a presence like Charles on the field, it will allow the Dawgs to provide mismatches not only on LBs but against DBs as well. This will also open the middle of the field for the air attack in AJ Green and Marlon Brown. It will also provide Murray with a security blanket when he takes the reins.
