miss. Quick reactions to make positive yards on a poorly blocked
play. Has the hands to catch all pass routes with good eye-hand
coordination. A clutch player that can make a play in crucial
situations. As a kickoff return specialist he shows an instant
burst and acceleration. As a punt returner he can take one step
and go, or uses his stop and go moves to make defenders miss.

down the sideline. Has a burst to the corner and can make the
first defender miss in space. Explosive on wheel routes. Possesses
the hands of a receiver. Mismatch on linebackers. Excellent
