Scouting Report

A torn ACL late in his senior season of college football probably dropped him down a bit in the draft. Even before that, he was more quick than fast, and will have to prove he can create separation at the top level and catch more with his hands than his body. He has decent size and an ample route tree, runs crisp routes with good breaks and can play multiple spots as a receiver--though he is likely to end up in the slot.

Long Range Potential: Productive wide receiver.
