He shows good vision as he quickly finds the open hole. He exhibits very good burst as he accelerates to top speed quickly o0nce he enters the secondary. He uses his great play speed to outrun all defenders with ease as he scores on a long touchdown run. He is a reliable receiver in passing game as he makes the catch with his hands away from his body.
