Positives: Explosive, game-breaking skill player who beats defenders as a receiver and punt returner. Quickly releases off the line, displays a burst of speed and is explosive. Gets up in a crowd, extends and exposes himself to the big hit. Adjusts to make difficult catches. Quickly transitions from making the catch to running after the reception. Keeps the play in bounds, effectively uses blocks and is dangerous running after the catch and returning punts. Strong for his size, displaying the ability to keep his feet after the initial hit. Solid route runner who quickly gets into breaks and separates from defenders on exit. Negatives: Drops some catchable throws and does not show consistently soft hands. Undersized and gets out-positioned battling for the ball. Did not time well in the 40 at the combine or during his pro day.
