Strengths
- Shows quickness off the snap to shake off corners and create room. Separates with hesitation moves and nice acceleration.
- Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he's rarely caught from behind.
- Fluid athlete with explosive burst and speed to stretch the field and breeze past defenders. Has a quick first step and gets to top speed in a hurry.
- Very quick and elusive, excellent change of direction and acceleration, especially for a former track star.
- Plays fast and confident. Covers a lot of ground in the short half of the field and is slippery after the catch.
- He gets off the line with a nice burst and is very fluid in his movements with little wasted steps in his routes.
- An impressive athlete with very quick acceleration to reach his top speed quickly and stretch the field. Very good body control and smooth movements. Plays fast and explosive.
- 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.
Weaknesses
- Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.
- Not a burner or consistent vertical threat. Has a lanky frame and will be overmatched physically by most cornerbacks in the NFL. Needs to be more competitive in tight coverage.
