He has good hips and does well with in and out breaking routes. He has strong hands, does well creating on his own after the catch and he is a receiver who is blossoming at the right time.

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers. Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.
