Scouting Report: Strengths

• Super productive receiver who was the best receiver in the nation in 2022 despite receiving constant press coverage and often seeing double teams
• Is an elite athlete with super soft hands and an innate knack for coming down with acrobatic catches
• Is a supreme technician, in basic footwork, route running, and hand usage
• Played on the outside in 2022, but will be moved to the big slot in 2023 - showcasing his versatility
• He’ll break a tackle or two; he’s extremely competitive and will give effort as a downfield blocker.
• Ideal bloodline: Dad is in the NFL Hall of Fame after a 13-year career (all with the Indianapolis Colts) in which he caught 1,102 passes for 14,580 yards and 128 touchdowns
• Elite athletic skills -- Made Bruce Feldman's 'Freaks List' at number 2. He wrote: "At 6-4, 208, the son of a Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver is remarkably gifted. He has everything. He’s very strong — he bench presses 380 pounds and did 20 reps of 225 on the bench and squatted 500. He’s very explosive, having broad-jumped 10 feet 8, and he’s really sudden, having clocked a 3.94 in the shuttle and improved on his max velocity from last year, up to 23.5 MPH. Asked for what training result he’s most proud of, he says it’s his 5-10-5, given his height and weight, yet still can run a sub-4-second time."
• Combines elite speed with his size, and he accelerates off the line much better than most big receivers.
• He’s elite in contested-catch situations, using his frame effectively to make plays facing the quarterback. He also shows a knack for high-pointing the ball, consistently outmuscling defensive backs.
• Tacks the ball well downfield and consistently runs under long throws.
• His long arms allow him to play even bigger than his size, and he has a frame that can carry a little more weight
• Has surprising quickness off the line. Has the rare size and quickness to get off NFL press.
