| Strengths | Big, physical outside receiver with great body strength. Very aggressive with his hands and body, knows how to use his size to his advantage. Catches everything in his hands and looks it all the way in every time. Can absorb contact and keep the ball secure. Fearless across the middle, almost dares the defenders to bring the wood. Climbs the ladder well. Good footwork along the sidelines. Hard to tackle once he transitions to runner, plows through arm tackles and has great timing on avoiding dive tackles. Willing blocker, though he holds a lot.
|
| Weaknesses | Coming off a nasty knee injury that cut his season short just as he was really beginning to blossom. Never had great speed to begin with, so if his ACL/MCL tear robs him of any speed he is at a real disadvantage and will never get deep. Tends to run stiff. Will take false steps and use extra steps when making his breaks.
