Summary He is a big and physical WR that has not had a great Sr. year in terms of production, but he is a guy that a lot of NFL teams quietly like...He has excellent speed for a big man, and is probably one of the better deep threats in this draft.. He is an outstanding athlete, he is excellent in the open field, and he has big play potential written all over him. He has been strapped by a lot of injuries in his career, and it has hindered his progress.. He has good quickness in and out of his cuts, and he has the toughness to go and get the ball.. He has good hands, but there are some minor concerns among NFL teams about some inconsistencies in the receiving area. He tends to drop a few more catchable passes than he should, but again it may be a product of a lack of concentration than a physical deficiency. He is a player that tests well, and this is a guy that may surprise some people on how high he is picked on draft day.
