For someone who was talked up as the best receiver in this class, I find his game to be pretty disappointing. He's a big slot receiver. With smooth movements. And catches most of the six-yard passes his way. That's it, that's the list of stuff he can do.

Where's the game-changing ability? Not down the seam or outside, because he doesn't have a getaway gear. So...he's an unstoppable chain-mover between the hashes? Not exactly. His breaks aren't sharp, and he gets little separation against top athletes. Well, he's got impeccable hands then, right? Nope. At least one questionable drop a game.

Nothing wrong with being a physical slot receiver. You just don't draft those guys in the first two rounds.

+ Can box out most defenders and muscles through tackles after the catch
+ Strong hands when concentrating
+ He should drop 20 pounds (listed at 230) and try to emulate Jarvis Landry; he has some similar traits

- 12 of his 17 career touchdowns have come against South Alabama, Tennessee-Martin, Louisiana Lafayette, Southern Illinois, Wofford, Louisiana Monroe and Vanderbilt
- 3 career touchdowns against SEC West opponents
- Never lines up outside and can be nullified when pressed; may not be much of an athlete
- Drops too many easy passes for someone without vertical ability
