Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Excels at running precise routes with an innate feel for setting up defensive backs, though he could show more effort in creating separation in traffic.
  • Competitive player with strong hands, and demonstrates a natural sense of timing when it comes to elevating and high-pointing balls.
  • Equally effective in catch-and-run situations and when the opportunity arises to take the top off a defense, though his speed is average.
  • Proves to be a force in catch-and-run situations with his ability to quickly transition upfield after the catch. He is capable of gaining good yardage once he's broken the first tackle, despite average speed.
  • Though primarily a possession target, his competitive demeanor and run-after-catch ability make him a significant threat in the middle of the field.
  • Plays with a smoothness and balance, showing a knack for setting up defensive backs.
  • Possesses a tall frame, long arms, and strong hands, which give him a large catch radius.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Needs to develop a better feel for settling down against zone coverage.
  • Often comfortable in traffic, to the point where he could exert more effort to create separation.
  • More of a straight-line athlete with average speed. Lacks the ability to outrun opponents at the next level, and can struggle to separate in tight coverage.
