Scouting Report

Assets
  • Tall, well-built receiver with a long stride that allows him to glide past defenders. Can out-jump and out-muscle cornerbacks for deep balls and can make acrobatic catches. Uses his size and experience well on shorter routes. Has improved as a route runner.
Flaws
  • Has bad legs and always seems to play hurt. Can still go into a funk and disappear from the game in a hurry. Not the deep threat he once was. Has struggled with off-field troubles.
Career Potential
  • Star wideout (when focused).
  • AwardsNFL - Super Bowl
