I'm one of the racists who was shocked by his time (4.34) at the Combine. To be fair, he was used sparingly as a vertical threat last season. When he did get the green light, it often came off a double move or wheel route, where it was harder to gauge his long speed (it didn't help that Manziel missed seeing him downfield a bunch of times). And there are plenty of instances where teams manned a safety over him without big play consequences.

Judging how he was used, though, and he's an OK prospect in the slot. He ran lots of pivot and stick routes, sitting in zones for third downs. Faster than quick; he gets corralled in the open field but has a stocky, running back build that can take punishment.

It'll be interesting to see if his speed wasn't fully utilized, or he just plays slower on the field. Fourth round.
