POSITIVES

—Attacks the ball in flight to secure contested catches.

—High-points down the field better than most receivers in this class.

—Clean and consistent hands at all levels of the field.

—Oklahoma State offensive system runs varied route tree.

—Can drop weight well to drive out of breaks and cause separation at intermediate levels.

NEGATIVES

—Missed entire 2016 season with foot injury.

—Clunky runner that struggles to make sudden changes of direction.

—Lackluster technique as a blocker despite ideal frame.

—Slow by NFL standards and not particularly strong; reps against press were an issue at Senior Bowl.
