Assets
  • Good overall speed and quickness. A smooth receiver who is quick out of his cuts. Makes acrobatic catches and tracks the deep ball well. Solid return man who can break a big play.
Flaws
  • Not a top route runner. Will get eaten up by better cornerbacks when he isn't on his game. Drops some easy passes at times. Still has some concentration lapses. Has consistency issues.
Career Potential
  • Slightly above-average wideout.
  • Awards
