Scouting Report
A willowy speedster, he presents a certified deep threat as a receiver, runner and kick returner. Accelerates in a heartbeat to take the top off the secondary. Is quick to gain separation on comeback routes and usable in a variety of scenarios to leverage his jets as a target and/or decoy. Played only two seasons of major college ball. His slender frame may be susceptible to injury so he must prioritize strength gains to combat press coverage and physical defenders.
Long Range Potential: Quick-strike wide receiver and speedy option in the return game.
