He's not just a fast guy blowing by people, either. If you watch him, you see a man with uncommon agility and wiggle for a player his size (which is backed up by his athletic scores). He makes a lot of guys miss in the open field.
I'm not sure he's worth a 1st, but I'm not sure he isn't.

This sums up my thoughts exactly.
Would I take him in the 1st? No.
But I won’t complain about taking a guy with his size and speed either. There’s enough smoke about him going in the 1st that we shouldn’t be surprised by it.
