​career highlights
​(2022)

strengths

weakness

• He is an explosive shorter, small-body receiver with a high football IQ.
• He has a rare blend of speed and excellent short-area quickness that allows him to fly past the defender.
• He can take the roof off the defense quickly, a designed playmaker.
• He has excellent quickness off the line to release and can shake defenders in his routes and cut in the open field.
• He has a dangerous run-after-the-catch ability and will navigate through traffic to get to the pylon.
• He has an excellent ability to track the ball and adjust his body on down-the-field throws. ​

• He will struggle in press coverage on the initial bump due to questionary strength.
• He is not a lustrous receiver; he will need to refine his route tree and not rely on his speed to get open.
• He needs to run his routes cleanly and limit the routes in the game.
• I am not fond of his size as an outside receiver; more prominent corners will give him fits.
• He will be a liability with most 50/50 miles as his size is limited at the high point.

Draft Projection: 2nd Round
