He has come out of nowhere to be a legitimate NFL prospect with a strong senior year. He is a very intelligent and efficient player that has been well-schooled in the passing game, and he makes very few mistakes. However, most experts have underrated his athletic ability, and his strong combine showing where he flashed AA, change of direction, and agility has really enhanced his status. He is not necessarily a power player, but gets himself in good position to make the play. He is rarely on the ground, plays under control, and does a nice job of mirror and adjust on pass pro. He is not a "down and dirty" player, but he gets the job done and will wind up playing a long time on the NFL level because of his instincts and dependability.
