| Scouting Report | Potential |
| As he continues to improve, you'll hardly ever see him drop a pass. All he needs is a little more time and he'll run routes as precise as anyone. With more dedication, he can develop the type of speed most receivers only dream of. His main job is to catch the ball but he will eventually surprise people with his electrifying running. |
