Strengths

• Balanced, savvy route runner with top field awareness, setting up and selling routes beautifully.
• Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he's rarely caught from behind.
• A savvy, natural pass-catcher with reliable hands and very good focus. Snatches the ball out of the air and shows the concentration to make acrobatic catches look easy.
• Has the strong hands any NFL wide receiver coach and quarterback would covet. Tracks the deep ball over either shoulder and brings in passes fluidly without breaking stride downfield.
• Does a nice job locating and tracking deep passes and is a legitimate vertical threat. Willing to go up and attack the ball.

Weaknesses

• Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.
• Doesn't have the size to consistently win on the outside, but can be productive working the middle of the field and as a return man.
• Has only average height and overall length. Lacks initial burst off the line of scrimmage and has more build-up speed than track wheels. Limited explosiveness and flexibility and will struggle to separate against pro defensive backs
