Positives: Nice size, length and hands. Big, physical receiver who can shield defenders from the ball. Can adjust to and high point the football. Good speed and run-after-the-catch ability.

Negatives: Lacks refinement and sophistication when it comes to running a complete route tree of pass patterns. Needs overall development. Has had some off-field issues.

Summary: Good talent who make take a little time to adapt to the details and complexity of the pro game.
