I think a lot of it will depend on his fitness.
For a bigger guy, his functional strength seemed really bad. He really needs to kick off 20+ lbs of 'bad weight'. If he does that via converting it to good weight, it will both improve his ability at the point of attack AND it should help him get a little quicker.
I saw a guy who was neither sudden or stout. I simply don't know what the hell you could possibly do with that. He needs a complete off-season physical transformation. And when you look at that pair of monsters at WR that Ole Miss has coming out (AJ Brown and DK Metcalf) you realize that Ole Miss isn't exactly lacking in facilities. There's no good reason for him to have come to the league as soft as he did apart from simply not having the drive to work on himself that other guys coming through that program have demonstrated.
This isn't some dude that came from Wyoming and needs a better strength program to succeed - Ole Miss is an SEC school that's been churning out physical specimens for awhile now. He either 1) didn't put the work in or 2) doesn't have a body that's capable of getting to 'NFL caliber'. Because if what he was last year is the best he can be physically, he's not a starter in this league.
