Strengths

• Has smooth acceleration and deceiving speed. Balanced and very fast with the ball in his hands.
• Has long arms to stiff-arm defensive backs in the open field. Willing to lower his pads to run through tackles for extra yardage. Goes over the middle, can spin out of tackles and take the big hit.
• Fits a zone system, can sift through oncoming traffic and explode through tiny creases and cutback lanes. Elite, darting stop-and-go acceleration. Dangerous in the open field.
• Has elite speed and cutting ability and good hands and toughness. Lacks the ideal size, but has a similar body type to Antonio Brown.
• Does a nice job locating and tracking deep passes and is a legitimate vertical threat. Willing to go up and attack the ball.
• Plays fast and confident. Covers a lot of ground in the short half of the field and is slippery after the catch.
• 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.
• A slippery runner with elusive footwork. Has little to no wasted movements between the reception and burst upfield.

Weaknesses

• Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.
• NFL defenders may be able to knock him off his route because of his slight frame.
