Smooth athlete...Terrific size and bulk...Very good speed...Real quick with a burst...Gets good separation...A great leaper...Excellent ball skills...Soft hands...Will work the middle of the field...Can avoid the jam...Shows the ability to get deep and be a vertical threat...Big upside.

Weaknesses:
Not a great route runner...Will drop some catchable balls...Has lapses in concentration...Not very tough or physical...Doesn't do a whole lot after the catch...Marginal blocker...Limited experience and was never a featured target...Intelligence may be an issue...Average production.

Notes:
Did not start playing football until his senior year of high school...A JUCO transfer who originally signed with Florida International before opting to attend Pearl River Community College...Led the Tigers in touchdowns as a junior...Was overshadowed by Early Doucet and Brandon LaFell during his time in Baton Rouge and was never the main focus of opposing defenses attention...Has the physical tools you look for and a ton of potential but is still raw and will have to be developed.
