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:
• Underwent surgery for high ankle sprain in 2009
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.
