I had the chance to see Zaylen live last season, and he is able to make some plays against man coverage. Zaylen has some good speed and has some agility with the ball in his hands. Zaylen can create separation running his routes and shows some reliable hands catching the ball downfield especially. For the season, Zaylen had 17 catches, however, as he continues to grow physically I think he can easily double that production going into next season. Zaylen can also be a threat as a kick/punt returner on Special Teams. I had a chance to speak with Zaylen after an East Mecklenburg victory this past season.
