Excellent following pullers on runs to the edge. Very good hands underneath. Shows soft hands on throws that aren’t precise. Reliable on swing passes.

Weaknesses

Conclusion

Overall, Estimé is a power runner that knows how to keep his shoulders square and get downhill, but also has impressive feet and burst. While he might be more reliant on a top offensive line to give him clean looks, Estimé should be a strong target in the third round.
