| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Very athletic type who should develop good hands over time. His route running should improve but it will never be better than average. As his college career progresses, his coaches are going to be happy with his speed. His aggressive tendencies will serve him very well as he continues to grow. As he continues to refine his techinque, I think he will become a solid run blocker. |
