| Professional Scouting Report | Has great speed and quickness for the position. Has natural receiving skills and knows how to get open. Good footwork on the sidelines. Catches the ball well in traffic and can make the difficult catch on poor throws. Real good on quick curls and outs. Very light and significantly lacks upper and lower body strength for the position--has no value as an in-line TE (late Combine edit: he impressed with his 28 bench reps, perhaps dispelling some of these concerns). Poor blocker who would rather dance with the defender than engage. Runs upright at times. Will drop more throws than you expect. Will get alligator arms across the middle. Has major durability issues--missed time due to shoulder and leg injuries and is slightly built. To quote one NFL scout, “He’s a slow slot receiver and I have never seen him break a tackle.” I disagree on the slow part, but he really regressed his senior season before going down with injury, played as if he was entitled.
