Talent-wise, he's in-between Calvin Johnson and Stephen Hill. Large disparity, I know, but you see shadows of both from him -- he's a huge target who can fly downfield, but is raw in his receiver technique. He extends his hands much better than Hill ever did, although he still lets too many passes into his body. Great long speed; give him space to gear up and you'll be chasing his back numbers.

The negatives: misuses his size at times, especially when shielding defensive backs, and runs a basic route tree with inexperienced precision. His agility is also average in tight quarters. However, he's started for just two years, so I expect exponential improvement in the future.

A legit number one receiver prospect. He'll be a huge wild card if he declares -- the combine should push him up a half-round, minimum -- as this is an unsettled draft for his position.
