This guy is the real WR1 prospect on his team, not A.J. Brown. He's built like Terrell Owens (6'4, 230) and eats up coverages downfield -- there's a couple of guys with his size in this class, but the difference is he can put his foot in the ground and run past you. Once the ball is in the air, he makes highlight catches that are as good as or better than any N'Keal Harry has made.

Only a redshirt sophomore so he's raw on a lot of things, namely his shorter route-running and how to attack off-coverage, but he does something NFL in every game. They don't make too many like this.

+ Deep threat with natural separation skills, and knows how to attack press coverage with multiple release moves and hand technique
+ Hands-catcher who wins balls through contact and can box out any back seven defender
+ Slashing, physical YAC threat with a burst in his long stride

- Learning full route tree and will get caught making too many moves instead of stemming and clearing the corner
