Edit: Just found his combine: 4.35 isn't too shabby.

Yeah, dude has ability, I think he gets jammed at the line and can't recover. I don't know what to think of the guy. I went the Faid game in 2014 and he was all over the place. Trying to block giant ****ers, diving all over the place, I kept thinking, easy there big guy, don't get yourself hurt. Now he won't lay out for balls. It doesn't compute how it can be the same guy. I'm not sure it is an effort thing rather than a skill thing, because the ability is there.

He's built like a running back. He won't get injured so easily like other Wrs.

umm ... the reason he stopped diving,blocking and running hard with the ball is because he kept getting hurt.

I think he got scared about getting hurt over and over so he started avoiding impact instead. Can't really blame him i guess, if he would have gotten hurt again he probably would have been out of the league. Hard to get another shot when you're an UDFA. He did what he had to do.

It looks like he's starting to get more confident about being able to stay healthy this year.
