| 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. I think he'll get the hang of run blocking but won't ever be much better than average. His main job is to catch the ball but he will eventually surprise people with his electrifying running. |
