Pros: He has excellent quickness and acceleration coupled with the sharp cutting skills that allow him to change directions and break the big play. He gets to the corner quickly, showing the foot speed and lateral mobility to get outside the tackles and pressure the defense. As a receiver, he has very good hands and is well- developed to be a threat immediately in that role. He shows the ability to get into his routes easily and get consistently open. He displays fine route-running ability with a keen awareness of defensive coverage and soft spots in pass defense. He is dangerous after the catch and follows his blockers well, showing the ability to change speeds and set up defenders. Cons: His main flaw at this point is his blocking and whether he can handle linebackers in single assignments, something he struggled with at the Senior Bowl. It is this weakness that would keep him on the bench as a rookie. He needs strength and technique work.
Numbers: He set an NCAA career record with 7,337 all-purpose yards and earned Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year honors three seasons in a row. As a senior, he led C-USA and finished second nationally with 1,726 rushing yards, rushing for 200 or more yards 4 times with 15 rushing TDs.
At the Combine, he had a 35.5-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot, 1-inch broad jump, the only two events in which he participated. I am starting to like the kid...anyone have a 40 yard time on him?
