He may be the most talented receiver in this group, but there are mixed reviews on whether he should have stayed in college for his senior year at Ohio State. He's very confident and appears to be a little immature at times, but he does have great speed, size and is a tough guy to match up with for DBs. Because of his size, he doesn't always look real fast but he is able to get deep and outmuscle smaller DBs. He is outstanding in the red zone and converts a lot "jump balls" into catches. He can play physical when necessary and can either push off the bump or use his quickness to separate and get open. He is not real polished at this stage and he makes a lot of plays on natural ability, but if he matures and continues to learn, he may have the biggest upside in this WR group.
