| Strengths | Real shifty playmaker in the slot with great quickness and lateral agility. Very strong for his size, good weight room body. Does a good job getting initial separation with a combination of hand and footwork. Catches on the dead run very well. Quick acceleration and has great burst out of his cuts. Very good runner after the catch, great in space. Understands that on 3rd and 8 he needs to run a tight 9-yard pattern and not short it. Brings added value as a punt returner, though in Mobile he looked lost fielding punts in the wind.

| Weaknesses | Not very big and doesn't play as big as his smallish height. More quick than fast, does not have long speed. Lets way too many balls get to his pads. Reacts as if he isn’t expecting the ball at times. Marginal blocker, more of a dancer. Has some ball security issues. Has done most of his damage on bubble screens and short slants. Displayed some traits of showing up his quarterback and tuning out coaches during Senior Bowl week and wasn't real accommodating to the media.
