Intriguing number two/slot receiver who can take the top off a defense. I'll bet he has a good 40 time, but what matters is how he accelerates past deep coverage and gets separation. All his other routes play off that speed, as corners give him the cushion to run screens and comebacks all day.

Tracks the ball well and has good hands when he needs them, although sometimes a little awkward securing the catch. Solid press-beater who simply needs to get into his route faster. Kind of a crappy blocker who tries hard.

While a shade undersized as a deep threat, his speed can be used in other ways. End-arounds, drags, the aforementioned screens -- anything short and he has the burst to get loose. He's also a tough runner for his stature after the catch. Late second or early third round.
