Round 5, pick 24 (159 overall)
BIO: Two-year starter who caught 54 passes for 1,114 yards and seven scores last season after 27-469-7 as a junior.

POSITIVES: King sized receiver who may end up at H-back. Solid pass catcher that comes back to the ball out of his breaks, gets vertical for the high pass and uses his large frame to shield away opponents. Pulls the ball away from defenders, effective running after the catch and works to pick up positive yardage. Finds the soft spot in the defense and sneaks it downfield on occasion.

NEGATIVES: Lacks the deep speed, quickness in his breaks and prone to lapses in concentration.

ANALYSIS: Has the frame to hold 225 pounds, a weight which he's played at in the past. Not fast or sudden enough to play receiver and must move closer towards the interior line of scrimmage.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
