Player Summary
A Playmaking slot reciever with some ability to line up outside. He's got the short area burst to create seperation, combined with strong route running savvy to keep defenders guessing. His competitiveness, ball tracking, and high point ability maximize his otherwise limited catch radius. Despite his size, has extremely strong, sure hands that makes him an ideal 50-50 ball receiver. Some mixed feedback on YAC ability, likely that his burst, competitiveness, and open-space playmaking give him real big play potential every down, but size and lack of elite speed limit the opportunities. Overall, a true high end slot guy who can start day 1 and offer real value in the return game.
