BIO: Broke out as a senior posting career numbers of 54 catches, 748 yards with seven scores, also averaging 8.5 yards on 19 punt returns with an additional score. Averaged 20.9 yards on 30 kick returns as well. Started seven games as a junior totaling 23-289-0 as a receiver with a 10-yard average on 13 punt returns before fracturing a collarbone which ended his season. Broke into the starting lineup as a sophomore playing nine games with the first unit and totaling 36-590-6 as a wide out.
POSITIVES: Nice-sized pass catcher who may just be hitting his stride. Fluid releasing off the line, strong enough to get off jams by opponents or out-muscles them to make the difficult reception. Quickly exits his breaks, shields opponents away and has big hands. Offers the QB a nice target.
NEGATIVES: Not on the same page as his signal caller, lacks natural receiving skills and lets the ball get inside him or watches the pass slip through his hands.
ANALYSIS: Consistent but not spectacular in college and does not play as good as his size-speed numbers would dictate.
PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
