| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Will someday make huge contributions with his pass catching ability. He'll run satisfactory pass patterns someday but that will be as good as it gets. His aggressive nature will become a positive part of his overall game. The coaches seem to think that he'll be an average run blocker at best. |
