A linear player who can only run linear routes. When he's on the field he's probably running a go; maybe a slant or comeback. What works for him is his size -- he's a fluid 6'6 and has extremely long arms, letting him elevate for passes that most defenders can't reach. Throw it up there and see what happens.

What works against him, is also his size. Although he's smooth in straight lines, he doesn't have much lateral quickness and separation is nonexistent on short routes. Cornerbacks press him a lot, and his win rate isn't dominating -- he gets jabbed in the chest too much and his releases aren't sudden enough to break ankles.

His height and ball skills are worth a spot, but he's a lot more limited than he appears.

+ Great adjustments to off-target balls and finishes with strong hands
+ Nice build-up speed and knows how to press vertically
+ Box-out ability and elite extension

- Tall but thin (215 pounds), so he can get pushed around by tougher defenders
- Super limited route tree without the twitch to expand it much
- Blocking is pathetic for his frame
- Sort of a finesse player, who either catches a long touchdown or does a lot of nothing
