His ability to score on different plays is impressive. He can take the top off a defense at a high level. He also does an outstanding job of running routes and finding the opening in the zone.

As a wide receiver, he has excellent body control. His ability to go up and catch the ball is impressive. In between defenders in traffic, he makes great catches look normal. Cain also has the speed to run by defenders. Then, on defense, he played as both a defensive end and a linebacker. At both positions, he shows off his athleticism as he just chases plays all over the field. Cain is an excellent athlete who has all the tools of a great athlete.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Check out my Junior Year highlights!
