A late-rounder, but one I'm actually excited about. His limitations are tied to his size (5'8, 190), as he's a small target without the track speed to frighten people. There are a lot of big and fast receivers these days -- he isn't going to make much of an impression when they line up at pro day.

But man, he's as reliable as they come in the short passing game. Runs a varied route grouping from the slot, with a lot of feints and second moves that accentuate his quickness. Fantastic hands as well, even for being an undersized guy who has to fight through defenders. He sneaks his way open and knows how to get the ball.

He needs to become a core special teamer to make it, but if I'm getting to the end of my depth chart at receiver, he could be a solid short-term contributor.

+ Has caught 250(!) career receptions at Virginia
+ Accomplished route-runner who works every trick he knows
+ Easy adjustments to passes, and has a better catch radius than you think

- Noticeably undersized and limited in what he can do against NFL coverages
- Professional corners and safeties are going to bother him with their length
- Has to be hidden or spaced out of the play in the running game
- Uses angles and burst well, but not the greatest YAC receiver
