Official Bio
|
Strengths:
Good size and bulk...Decent athleticism and is very smooth...More quick than fast...Soft, reliable hands...Good ball skills and body control...Excellent route runner...Elusive with great vision...Can do some damage after the catch...Very tough...Isn't afraid to go across the middle...Decent blocker...Great competitor who comes through in the clutch... Hard worker ...Also has some potential as a punt returner.
Weaknesses:
Timed speed is merely average...Is not very explosive...Won't get a lot of separation...Needs to get stronger...May have trouble beating the jam...Doesn't break many tackles...Overall upside is probably limited.
Notes:
First name is pronounced "WAH-keen"...A three-year starter in the Big 12...Ranks third on the Sooners all-time receiving list...Honorable mention All-Big 12 in 2007 and 2008...Emerged from Malcolm Kelly's shadow as a senior...Productive pass catcher with solid intangibles who does everything well but nothing great...Isn't flashy and certainly won't blow anyone's doors off in workouts but will likely play in the league for a long time ... Looks like a prototypical possession receiver.
