Rayford put together a strong tape from his sophomore season.  It is a thing of beauty in play action situations when he hits the backfoot and lets it fly downfield on a perfect dime.  Touch on deep ball and seam routes. Whip action on his release with a ton of velo coming on his throws. Makes plays on the run finding pass catchers.  Mechanically sound.
