"Former track guy with speed to burn, and a big time competitive drive, but also contrasting urgency, physicality and finish"
Strengths:
Deceptively fast, compact receiver with clutch hands. Eats up ground in the open field. Sudden feet and cod. Builds speed as he goes with good vision.
Flashes the ability to catch in traffic and climb the ladder for the ball. Competitive blocker. Dangerous return man.
Weaknesses:
Doesn't regularly explode off the line and is soft vs the press. Lacks physicality throughout the route despite strong hands.
Deliberate route runner lacking ideal deception. Loose with the ball. Didn't appear near as explosive as a junior as his sophomore year.
Overall:
Former track guy with speed to burn, ball skills, suddenness and a big time competitive drive but couches that with inconsistency. He lacks subtlety in his routes, consistent physicality at the catch point and urgency off his release.
He's an electric return guy day 1 and has flashed the ability to be a Brandon Cooks/Robert Woods caliber talent but his relative lack of polish and consistent gas could relegate him to be more of a situational weapon.
