it took a while for the light to come on for him, now is it going to stay on? physical, he's rare. he has incredible wingspan and moves like a panther. not the super-explosive, nitro-boost kind of guy, but incredible sleek. smooth enough to line up over a slot receiver, jam the hell out of him, and at least run with him through his first route break. clip his best plays and you've got a first-rounder.

issue is, he's a senior and still a part-time player. there are stretches he looks the part and whole games where he might as well not have played. he can lack violence and technique at times, which leads to a lot of wasted snaps. if you're not a technician you better be overwhelming with your physical traits, and he's not as forceful as he could be.

he has gotten great coaching, and to his credit he is high-effort and improved every fall, but collectively his game has not matched his potential...yet. if you can pull more out of him that's great; as long as you aren't *expecting* that next jump, he can be useful at his current level.
