Decisive route-runner who'll make his money underneath and on third downs. He can make hard cuts or stops at any level of the route tree, with great body control. I think the fade is his best route; he dominates corners with that one.

Mostly reliable hands (drops come on transition moves) with excellent extension. Not a home-run hitter after the catch, but he can do some damage laterally. There are instances where he can't get separation over the top, so I'm interested to see his times -- although that won't be his game in the NFL anyway. Tough player who blocks downfield and played most of his sophomore season with an ankle injury that needed surgery.

Production dipped because he switched positions with Marqise Lee and was not force-fed the ball like in 2011, which he was somewhat bitter about. He'll have to get used to it though, because he's ideally a number two in the NFL. Second round.
