Good straight-line speed, good agility.
Good open field running ability, picks up alot of YAC.
Works well back to his quarterback
Very average run blocker.
Good sink and stop on hitch, good cut and go on slant
Good hands catcher but baskets some throws.
No unnecessary "high pointing" - stride receiver.
Secures ball to outside arm properly.
Bad drop step off the line that slows him down from a football perspective. Physical press dbs will take advantage.
Not as fast on tape as he is on the track on 9s, doesn't generate deep separation.
Concentration drops against Stanford
Ramps down on in/out cuts rather than fluid transition
runs alot of quick hitches and short swing and screen routes
alot of motion and slot looks
didn't see any press coverage in any of the 5 games I watched
good qb throwing to him
ran pro-style, wco
good punt and kick returner

I see him in a very similar light, but came to the conclusion that he is still likely a slot only receiver. Against Stanford, the only game I watched where corners got anywhere close to press on him, the back him off the LOS, put him in motion and set him up in bunch formations to create space for him to operate in. Based on that, I am concluding that against NFL competition, he will have difficulty beating press coverage. Additionally, his ability to get separation over the top, even against college DBs is a strike against him. Based on these observations, I have him pegged in the slot.
