Draft Scouting Report:
Rating: 62.67 (Role player)
Pro Comparison: Donovan Peoples-Jones
Strengths:
Size/speed specimen at outside WR. Shows some twitch against press and has an intimidating frame Limited to a go-ball or deep over type of role, and he may be best as a big slot in the NFL. Legitimate speed/explosiveness to threaten deep in the NFL, and he tracks the ball well.
Weaknesses:
Had six catches in college before his final season. Doesn't have the in-route quickness or route salesmanship to create separation underneath or consistently at the intermediate level. Average at best as a YAC type or in contested-catch scenarios
Accolades:
- 2021: Led team in rec yards (888)
- 2021: T-most rec TDs (seven) on team
