Snapshot: Strong, well-distributed frame with good height, weight, and length. Flashes twitch and quickness for a big WR, created separation versus Man coverage consistently at FCS. Won on all three levels as one of the most impressive WRs of the week, which leads to deeper investigation into why his college production was not better.

Snapshot: Compact build with a muscled-up frame. Good feet and hips with good short-area quickness and burst. Versatile inside runner who is effective in Gap and Zone schemes. Solid hands as a checkdown and screen receiver, but below average height and length makes him a limited target.

High School Notes: 2-sport athlete in Football and Track and Field.
Snapshot: Short but not small, packs everything he can on his 5050 frame. For teams that can get beyond his height, you find a versatile and explosive player. His vision and short-area burst pops as an Inside Zone runner. Has good quickness and hands as a Receiver out of the backfield, but his size is limiting as a detached option.
