Scouting Report
An excellent possession receiver, he was as big as a tight end but could run as well as many wideouts. Had the quickness to get separation off the line. Also plucked the ball in traffic (showing great body control). Was not blazingly fast. His intensity level and ability to read plays when his route broke down came into question at times. Did not always come back to help his quarterback, and was not a pure route runner.
Long Range Potential: Huge, quality wide receiver.
