| Summary
This is everybody’s favorite player in this draft and the kind of guy that we all pull for...he is a little guy that is “quicker than fast”...he almost looks like an undersized RB rather than a WR...he did not have great times at the combine, although he has an exc track background and has run much faster...he is an overachiever at WR that has exc versatility...he contributes in the return game and he is very effective as a PR and more than adequate as a KOR...he does a great job competing for the ball and he plays with outstanding pride and toughness...he will fight to make every play and although he is not real natural in his receiving skills, he will make all the catches and always figures out a way to get the job done...he does an exc job in big games and wants the ball in key situations...he has exc overall quickness, is elusive in the open field, and shows a short burst...he will sacrifice his body to make the play and he runs good overall routes...his problem is the size area...if he can’t avoid the jam, he has trouble and he can be pushed around a little bit in and out of his routes...while his hands are good, he is not magical in the receivng area and he does have short arms which hinder him from making the circus catch...this is a guy that adds a touch of class to a roster and if he can fill in as special teams standout and return specialist, while helping in the passing game as a backup WR, he could be a nice fit for the right NFL team...he may not be a star on the NFL level but he has enough talent and strong intangibles to forge a nice career for himself.
