Scouting Report

Assets
  • A former track champion with outstanding speed. Is quick and explosive in short bursts and can cut. Turns the corner, squares his shoulders, and can score on any sweep to the outside. Has plenty of size and lower-leg strength and can break some tackles. Blocks well. Works hard, avoids hits, and can play through minor injuries.
Flaws
  • Hasn't been used much as a receiver. Has had fumbling problems. Lacks great vision and instincts: must learn for holes to develop and to change speeds when attacking a hole. Doesn't always maximize his leg drive and must become a better finisher.
Career Potential
  • Excellent prospect.
