Looks the part, but I have trouble seeing him as even a number two receiver in the NFL. His route-running is often bad, and he's got a very robotic look to his game until he actually has the ball in his hands. Once that happens he's first-round dangerous, but it's tiring to watch him not stem routes properly and never make tough catches.

I'd run go routes, comebacks, and double-moves with him; he's good at those right now and corners respect his straight line acceleration and deep speed. Anything else with nuance needs a lot more coaching and don't expect him to be a reliable chain-mover. Third round as a package player on offense with game-breaking return ability.

+ Very well-built, lots of strength without being heavy or losing agility
+ Elite kickoff returner, capable punt returner, and he can dominate second level defenders with his power-speed combo as a ball-carrier
- Poor route-runner who decelerates through his breaks and doesn't get great separation
- Hands are inconsistent at best, and contested throws are hardly ever brought down by him
