smooth and scrawny. he's got a high school build -- to put it in perspective, Nelson Agholor is the same height and 20 pounds heavier -- which will cross him off many draftable lists. even in college he has to be schemed for free releases, but to his credit he moves with an effortless preciseness. super clean in and out of his breaks, a highlight reel along the sidelines and snags most everything in his radius. gets open, time and time again.

while he's productive, his physical limitations crop up all the time. corners with NFL-quickness can bully him, taking him out of the play before it even begins. runs over the middle but is loose with the ball after hard contact. atrociously bad blocker; he might as well jog off the field when running plays are called to his side.

everything for him will depend on his test speed. Jacksonville is probably scouting him hard -- they seem to have an affinity for his type (Dede Westbrook, Rashad Greene).
