he's a bit overrated at this point in the draft process. a good prospect being presented as an elite one.

A&M works hard to get him free, whether it's backfield motion or pick plays, and he does well to find cracks in zones. excellent, excellent hands with the body control to match. just a really great feel for catching the ball. pure speed isn't his game but he can sneak behind your safety.

although he's presented as this master route-runner, he has room to improve (over-eager to get into his break, leading to contested catches). and boy he can suck against a real press corner. like I mentioned, he's either stacked or in the slot to mitigate that, but it's just another reason why he's not a top-level prospect.

I like his competitiveness -- he throws his body around and blocks like a man -- and most NFL teams could use a guy who does what he does. which is fine, as long as you're not expecting a centerpiece offensive star. he's a complimentary one.
