Scouting Report
A true big-play star receiver, and a very intense competitor. Possessed great speed and athleticism, and could glide past defenders, with the ability to make them look silly with one move. Was too quick and feisty to jam at the line. Would make circus catches and come up clutch. His fiery nature would sometimes spill over and lead to either distractions or loss of focus. Played the prima donna role occasionally and could be a coach's headache. Undersized, and was somewhat injury-prone.
Long Range Potential: Ultra-tough star big-play wideout.
