Scouting Report
Potential
With more repetitions and effort, he'll be able to catch anything thrown in his direction. When he learns how to make cuts a little sharper, his route running could be unparalleled. There will come a day when his speed will put him in an elite class of receivers. Sooner or later, the combination of speed and body control will make him a top runner at his position.
