Strengths

• A lean athlete with obvious upside. Soft hands. Flashes the ability to make the outstanding catch.
• Gets a quick release off the line. Dips his shoulder and shows some savvy 8 as a route runner to avoid contact with defenders g to get into his route.
• Can seal the edge as an in-line blocker. Not an intimidator but has enough strength, leverage and a solid base.
• Has enough speed to challenge the seam but does not possess elite top-end speed.
• Height helps him snare high throws but he also adjusts to low ones. Plays hard and with awareness, knows where the marker is. Runs with toughness and sheds tacklers in secondary.

Weaknesses

• Average size and power for the position; won't overwhelm with his strength.
• Narrow upper body and needs to add bulk and strength. Runs high and doesn't sink his hips or trace precise routes.
• Doesn't break many tackles or do enough after contact.
• Struggles tracking the ball over his shoulder.
• Lacks the bulk strength to lock on and control NFL defensive linemen. Lower-body strength is questionable and limits his in-line blocking.
