Scouting Report
Featured ideal size for an NFL possesson target and had very reliable hands. Did a nice job setting himself up for the catch yet also caught well in stride. Had the frame to outmuscle many pro defensive backs for jump balls. Didn't create major separation as a route runner, and wasn't a fast player downfield (and not a big threat for yards after the catch). Could have been much more of a playmaker considering his physical tools.
Long Range Potential: Big, athletic possession receiver with consistency issues.
