The 6-foot-2, 198 pound receiver profiles as a big slot receiver. The current trend of the NFL is to have slot receivers that are bigger than the traditional slot receiver profiles. This is primarily to gain an advantage in the run game. Defenses match slot receivers with smaller nickel corners, so if that slot receiver then aligns tight to the formation or motions into the formation, then the slot corner suddenly becomes part of the run fit and the offense in theory has a man to target.
