Official Bio

Stars
Strengths:

   • Athletic w/ speed to separate and stretch field
   • Soft, reliable hands and snatches ball out of air
   • Superb ball skills, body control, leaping ability
   • Tough and willing to sacrifice body for a catch
   • Versatile to play in-line, in the slot or out wide
   • Smart w/ fantastic work ethic and clean off field
   • Durable and productive versus top competition

Weaknesses:
   • Shows very little strength or power as a blocker
   • Does not break tackles or create after the catch
   • An unpolished route runner and needs refinement
   • Might have trouble getting off line when jammed
   • From a system that hasn't translated well to NFL

Injury History:

Notes:
A two-year starter and team captain for the Tigers --- Consensus 1st Team All-American in 2010 --- Named 1st Team All-Big 12 in 2011 and 2012 --- Graduated with degree in hotel and restaurant management in three-and-a-half years --- Following in footsteps of former Mizzou standouts Martin Rucker and Chase Coffman but like his predecessors might have been a product of the system to a degree --- Intriguing prospect with a nice blend of physical tools and top intangibles but is a one-dimensional pass catching specialist who plays a finesse game.
