| Scouting Report | Potential |
| While somewhat raw now, he's expected to become a solid pass catcher. He has the discipline and body control to develop good route running skills over time. There will come a day when his speed will put him in an elite class of receivers. Run blocking is something he should be able to pick up but it won't ever be his strongest attribute. |
