◊ nuanced route running (utilizes stems, jabs, stutter steps, hesi jump cuts, selling with eyes/head fakes, speed change); sharp breaks at top of routes
◊ creates effective separation vs zone and off-man
◊ easy, fluid mover; quick & smooth change of direction without losing momentum; hip torque
◊ versatility
◊ acceleration; doesn't have elite "take off the top" long speed but does possess EEL (even, even, leavin) speed
◊ short area quickness + no wasted movements help create YAC opportunities
◊ shows some ability to adjust to balls on the run or in the air and make athletic catches outside of frame
– burst off the line
– struggles to consistently get open vs press man
– contested catches/catching in traffic; looked hesitant at times to utilize body control at the catch point with defender bearing down on him
– concentration and contact drops {had 3-4 of these vs TAMU}
– play strength + blocking
– injury questions
