| Professional Scouting Report | Calvin Johnson, though Johnson is faster and taller. Anquan Boldin in terms of likely NFL style and impact.
|
| Strengths | Big, strong, physical receiver with outstanding hands. Earned consecutive Biletnikoff Awards and there was really no argument. Dynamic big-play machine who seizes the ball from the air with tremendous hand strength and body control. Does all the little tricks of the great ones (selling fakes with his shoulders, patience in looking for the ball, subtle leverage pushoffs) and looks very natural doing everything. Transitions easily from receiver to runner. Can break tackles with his power or make defenders miss with his lateral quickness and balance. Willing and tenacious blocker. Good student of the game who works hard at his craft.
|
| Weaknesses | Played just two seasons of college ball in a pass-happy system where he rarely faced any sort of NFL coverage or the type of attention normally given to talents of his caliber. Lacks the top-end speed of most elite receivers and his speed isn’t sudden.
