https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/...r-WR-Tennessee
Strengths:
Fits a zone system, can sift through oncoming traffic and explode through tiny creases and cutback lanes. Elite, darting stop-and-go acceleration. Dangerous in the open field.
Balanced, savvy route runner with top field awareness, setting up and selling routes beautifully.
Has the strong hands any NFL wide receiver coach and quarterback would covet. Tracks the deep ball over either shoulder and brings in passes fluidly without breaking stride downfield.
Plays fast and confident. Covers a lot of ground in the short half of the field and is slippery after the catch.
Has rare suddenness with lightning footwork to create in tight areas with elusive shiftiness and change-of direction skills.
An impressive athlete with very quick acceleration to reach his top speed quickly and stretch the field. Very good body control and smooth movements. Plays fast and explosive.
Does a nice job locating and tracking deep passes and is a legitimate vertical threat. Willing to go up and attack the ball.
Good effort and technique as a blocker for his size. Can beat the press with elusiveness or physical contact. Runs crisp routes with sharp cuts.
Weaknesses:
Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.
