| Scouting Report | Potential |
| He'll never run perfect routes but he should turn out to be adequate in this area. There will come a day when his speed will put him in an elite class of receivers. His unwillingness to block downfield will definitely hold him back as a receiver. With more practice, he'll be making the kind of runs that make would be tacklers look silly. |
