Film Room Notes: vs Stanford, vs USC
Strengths: Elite size – Big play threat – Separates well down the field – Normally runs very crisp routes, doesn’t seem to lose speed coming out of breaks – Good, but not great hands – Positions his body well.
Weaknesses: Will occasionally get lazy and round a route off – Used to shy away from contact at times – Not a terrible blocker, but could improve – Doesn’t have elite game breaking speed – Runs a limited route tree.
