The 5-foot-9, 160-pound Class of 2028 receiver will earn his keep in the slot; his ability to separate in a short area and create space against corners will go a long way.

Can disengage off blocks, recognize the pass and shed to wrap up in space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
