in practice shorts he's not going to look like much; a smaller guy without overwhelming speed. on the field, though, he's always making plays. he can make YouTube catches -- either one-handing bullets while being tackled, or snapping up an overthrown sideline pass then hitting a toe-tap. and he did so at least once per game, because his quarterback had the downfield accuracy of a water hose.

but my favorite part of his game is his balance. his body control is top-level when adjusting to throws, running routes or after the ball is in his hands. it compensates for the fact he's not physically imposing or beat everyone in a race fast, because his steps are quick and he is a pain to actually knock over. same applies to his routes, where he gets his releases and late separation using his quick feet, jab-stepping into open parts of the field. one big negative is he is very careless with the ball during all of this, and he will also drop gimmies thrown his way.

nice slot receiver who can get loose against a variety of coverages. reminds me of Emmanuel Sanders at times.
