Will wait on the ball instead of going up after it. Projects to a slot receiver. Played split end in college. Lacks quickness in and out of his breaks. Needs more strength in his upper body to get off jam coverage. Big target that is inconsistent in his route running. Struggles to separate from top defensive backs. Limited run after catch ability despite size and strength. Mediocre blocking effort down the field. Has tools to play on Sunday, but needs to elevate every phase of his game. OSR:13/38. Third round.
