Strengths
- Looks and runs like a lanky receiver. High-cut, long and lean frame. Deceptive speed and enough quickness to separate.
- Can seal the edge as an in-line blocker. Not an intimidator but has enough strength, leverage and a solid base.
- A savvy, reliable pass catcher with good body control and focus. Soft hands and has the hand-eye coordination to secure wild throws.
- Varies the speed of his route, using hesitation and shoulder fakes to get the defender guessing.
- Quick athlete and is usually sure-handed as a receiver. Much-improved route runner, creating space in coverage.
Weaknesses
- Doesn't break many tackles or do enough after contact.
- Effort blocker who gets in the way more than he mauls.
- Inconsistent with his release off the line of scrimmage.
- Average size and power for the position; won't overwhelm with his strength.
- Lacks the bulk strength to lock on and control NFL defensive linemen. Lower-body strength is questionable and limits his in-line blocking.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank
in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance.
For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.
*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
