Route Running: Sudden and deliberate with his routes. Runs routes out of reduced splits and trips. Solid route tree. Can win vertically on skinny posts and underneath on pivot, snag, hitch, and bubble screens. Natural Separator.
Blocking: Gives effort as a blocker. His smaller frame will limit his effectiveness at the next level.
Contested Catch Ability: Has natural separation ability, so he won’t be in many contested-catch situations. Excellent catch radius suggests the ability to win in contested situations.
Separation: Natural separator. Creates separation by selling vertical, then snapping off in/outside routes. Also creates separation at the top of the route stem with quick foot fire and head movement.
Ball Skills: Strong ball skills. Attacks the ball in the air. Hands catcher. Shows no issues catching the over-the-shoulder pass.
Beating Press: Lines up as a movement Z. Ran routes out of reduced splits or #2 in trips. Did not see press coverage in games watched. Quick feet and fluid movement suggests upside with release packages.
YAC Ability: Shows good body control to transition from receiver to runner after the catch. Has the mentality to gain yards after catch, but his slender frame suggests a lower level of contact balance to break tackles.
Ball Tracking: Has shown the ability to adjust his speed on vertical routes. Adjusts to underthrows and can adjust to trajectory.
Long Speed: DBs are forced to honor his ability to threaten vertically. Can alter his speeds throughout the route to separate at the best time.
Versatility: Already has reps in the slot, and at Z. Has experience running out of bunches, stacks, etc. Athletic ability projects upside playing a boundary X position with a developed release package.
