| Scouting Report | Potential |
| When he reaches the top of his game, he won't drop many passes. All he needs is a little more time and he'll run routes as precise as anyone. Run blocking is something he should be able to pick up but it won't ever be his strongest attribute. His main job is to catch the ball but he will eventually surprise people with his electrifying running. |
