Analysis
Positives: Tireless worker with a team-first attitude...Adjusts smoothly to the off-target throws...Has the explosive burst needed to gain separation after the catch...Does not shy away from the crowd, using his hands well to force his way through traffic...Plants and drives sharply on deep routes...Has the lateral agility to shake free of press coverage at the line of scrimmage...Very effective on vertical-type routes, showing elusive moves to the corner...Can create space with his acceleration and knows how to drive towards the sidelines in clock management...Flashes to the ball with his hands properly extended and never hesitates going over the middle for the ball...Shows the athletic ability to adjust to the ball and take it away from the defender...Has a keen knowledge for moving the chains, knowing how to stay uncovered once the coverage spreads...Displays the speed to find the end zone when he catches the ball in stride.
Negatives: Comes out of his stance a little slow, showing hesitation before getting into gear a few steps past the line...Not very quick in-and-out of his cuts...While he can catch very effectively with his hands extended, he tends to cradle-catch the ball, at times...
