Height: 6-0

Weight: 205

Position: WR

College: Florida

Drafted: Pick 12 of the 2nd round by Washington
Analysis
Positives: Good route runner with above average speed and quickness...Shows no wasted motion in his release and uses his hands effectively to defeat the press...Runs precise routes, sinking his hips properly and showing a sudden burst through his routes...Can create space in his separation with his hip swerve and wiggle...Plucks the ball with his hands and has the agility and leg drive to punish defenders after the catch... Has an exceptional burst in and out of his breaks...Shows the toughness needed to combat for the ball in traffic...Has outstanding work ethic and is very quick to digest plays.
Negatives: Needs to do a better job coming back for the ball...Does not make proper body adjustments going up for the ball and appears more comfortable catching passes thrown right at him...Can pluck the ball away from his framework, but still tends to body catch... Will show willingness as a blocker, but lacks technique and power to consistently face up.
