ANALYSIS
Positives: Has a trim, but well-defined frame … Good athlete with the quickness and body control to get a consistent release vs. press coverage so he can get into his routes in a hurry … Has shifty moves, setting up the defender nicely with his head fakes and hip swerve … Shows the lateral movements to make defenders miss in the open … Runs disciplined routes and does a very nice job working back to the ball … Has the agility to separate laterally and vertically down field … Looks the ball into his hands and is aggressive going for the pigskin in a crowd … Makes proper body adjustments going up for the high passes, showing the ability to pluck and snatch the pass at its highest point … Has soft hands, catching the ball cleanly away from the framework … Has the speed to take the ball the distance after the catch.
Negatives: Seemed to have regressed as a senior, as he was no longer the go-to receiver in the offensive game plan … Willing blocker, but lacks the power to face up and finish … Despite his sure hands, he allowed too many passes to absorb into his body last year … Seemed to labor getting into his routes in 2002 and seemed to limp in his gallop rather than explode past defenders after the catch (may need to have his legs medically checked further) … Did not show the speed and explosion into and out of his cuts when trying to separate as he did in the past (see 2002 statistics, compared to previous years).
