For the past two years he's been on every Saturday highlight reel catching touchdowns, but I think there are considerable holes in his game.

One, he's not much of an athletic mismatch. His steps are stiff, and he is long out of his breaks. It doesn't matter in the Big 12 because he's spaced open in that offense, and can box out most college corners. But NFL cover-men -- even linebackers -- are going to clamp down on his routes. What you also don't see on the scoring clips is how inconsistent his hands are between the 20s. He can get disrupted by contact and he'll muff some easy throws, which is the opposite of how he plays near the goal-line.

Scoring touchdowns wins games, however, and I will say he's excellent at that. He's just a monster on fades and slants, with superb body control and gummy hands. He looks like a star when his team gets a first and goal.

I don't see him being one, though. Hard to keep a five-yard scoring specialist on the team unless he really contributes on coverage teams and gets better at uncovering himself against tight coverage.

+ Only listed at 6'3 but has great wingspan and seems like he's 6'5 when the ball is in the air
+ Always
+ Scoring
+ Touchdowns

- Has issues running past press, and lacks suddenness to free himself against zone
- Not a consistent player outside of goal-to-go situations
- If you only have one trick, NFL defenses usually find a way to negate it
