|
| Strengths | Prolific junior with outstanding hands and vision; has decent size (6’1”, 192) and great flexibility, a natural athlete; precise route runner who prides himself on his exactness and strives for perfection; great leaper who makes a better red zone target than most guys his height; finds holes in zone coverage well and presents himself as a target better than any wideout in this draft; has lots of successful experience playing against NFL CBs in a pro-style system; an engaging blocker, though not necessarily a good one.
|
| Weaknesses | He is not very physical and can get frustrated by physical press coverage; more quick than fast, lacks the extra gear in the open field; not an instinctive or creative runner after the catch; Kind of a tweener--not big or fast enough to be a #1, on the bigger and softer side for a possession type.
