Summary

Although it is easy to categorize him as a track athlete than playing football, he has really improved in his overall receving skills. He has tremendous AA with good lower body explosiveness, and shows good leaping ability and a burst. He has excellent deep speed and has a flair for making big plays. He will make some circus catches in traffic and tends to make the tough catch better than the easy one. He has alot of return ability, both as a KOR and PR, and he is a threat to go all the way everytime he touches the ball. He has adequate route running abilities, but he is not quite as disciplined in and out of his cuts as he could be. He is not a big and physical looking guy, but he has pretty good durability and he seems to take a hit. He is a real graceful type athlete that has a huge upside. He has not come close to reaching his potential as a WR, and the NFL team that drafts him may get a gem as a big play deep threat and return specialist.
