A wild card that teams will have to do plenty of homework on. His vertical speed is ridiculous -- he pulls away from corners like they're standing still -- and he might be worth a fourth rounder as a kick returner alone.
The question is if he can be more than that. It's impossible to tell from games, as he was criminally underused (49 touches last season), perhaps due to time missed for the Olympics. The routes he did run were a bit jerky and limited, although he can get away with mediocrity because of his speed. How he adjusts to passes is another unquantifiable; it's been somewhat tested during the pre-draft process, but the gauntlet and drills are not a game.
Ultimately, you're paying for potential. He needs a lot of development (how committed he is to improving is also in question), but can be a special threat on even the simplest of plays. I still say fourth, but wouldn't be surprised if he's in the top 75.
