Selected by Philadelphia Eagles
Round 3, pick 31 (95 overall)
BIO: First-team All-Conference selection as a senior registering 69 receptions for 894 yards with three scores. Led the conference in all receiving categories as a junior posting 83-1,060-12. Team's leading receiver both his sophomore and freshman campaigns totaling 30-541-3 and 28-483-6, respectively.

POSITIVES: Big, strong possession receiver who's been the ""go-to"" guy four seasons running. Possesses big hands, extends and pulls the ball out of the air in the middle of a crowd. Comes back to the QB, displays outstanding focus and finds the open spot in the defense. Uses his frame to box out defenders and protect the pass. Snatches the ball away from his body and works to pick up yardage running after the catch. Excellent eye-hand coordination and overall football instincts. Adequate route running skills for a big man, displays sharpness in and out of his breaks and staying low on exit.

NEGATIVES: Lacks speed, deep acceleration and overall explosion. May have difficulty getting separation at the next level due to marginal physical skills.

ANALYSIS: Could be a solid second or third receiver for a team that needs a big body to go over the middle and make the difficult grab, or an offense that wants a big target in the red zone.

PROJECTION: Late Fourth Round
