Five-year starter. Spent two seasons at Hutchinson Community College where he set the program's career receiving record and was an All-American. Spent one season each at Alabama, Florida State, and Oregon. A credible speed threat who is a reliable pass catcher at all three levels. His natural, explosive movement in all directions can open the door to multiple usages and alignments, but the lack of strength and physical presence shows up in multiple areas which can keep him in a backup-type role. His speed and newfound punt return potential, in addition to the clean ball skills, add up to making him a viable option for a day three slot with solid rotational usage. Acceleration is the top movement trait in his arsenal. Can fly off the line and abruptly get behind the secondary. Tracks the deep ball well and will stay grounded through the catch. Just three drops over the last two seasons despite high depth of target. Snappy at the top of his routes. Can get out of his stem with minimal lost speed. Can get held up at the line against quality press coverage. Lack of play strength shows up, particularly with the ball in his hands.
