Summary One of the more versatile players in this draft, he has seen time at RB, QB, and WR in addition to being a return specialist during his career at Georgia, but will probably settle in at WR in the NFL.. He is obviously a great athlete and a very explosive player. He combines speed and quickness...He is a great open field runner and can make a lot of plays after the catch, which is also evidenced by his ability as a KOR. He has good hands, and overall ball skills, but may need some refinement as a WR, as his experience is not as deep as most of the WRs in this draft.. He may not be ready as a rookie, but there is a good upside to this guy, because of his versatility and athleticism.
