he has the chance to be an *elite* route-runner. it starts with his release, which is fantastic – a Keenan Allen, Antonio Brown-type first step. his stems are superb, and he comes out of his breaks so damn cleanly. typical play: hyper-speed off the line to dust the press, runs go route hard to get the corner on his heels, then bang, he's at a dead stop and ready for the hitch.

has some concentration drops but he tracks the ball naturally and with his hands in good position. for better or worse, he's also used to a ton of inaccurate and late throws playing with Hurts, so he knows how to adjust. plenty fast and can run away from anyone that gives him a little space.

production has been stalled by his offensive system, but he's a natural receiver. not the biggest guy or very physical, but the way he moves he'll always be open. will be a better pro than collegian.
