\nAthletic playmaker completed an impressive career with the Buckeyes in their exceptionally deep receiving corps. Strong framed prospect played in very deep receiving corps which limited his touches in college, featuring sophomore sensation Jeremiah Smith. Still was highly productive over his final two seasons despite the depth at the Buckeyes skilled positions. Highly developed route running and natural open field running skills. Shows good speed (4.53) with a quick initial burst which allows him to separate consistently from cover men. Core strength and toughness allow him to be dangerous over the middle on crossing routes where he easily converts to run after the catch yardage. Tough on any 50\/50 ball situations where his strong hands and body allow him to make the difficult catch. Earned invitation to the NFL Combine and had a good workout. Prototypical skill set with the production and ability translates well to the field. Potential high level #2 receiver talent after being the best #2 starter in the nation over recent seasons opposite Jeremiah Smith. Never faced the double team coverage in college. Needs some work on refining his route running and defensive recognition. Learning to use his frame effectively on contested passes to secure the ball consistently. Excellent LOD, though has some further refinement before ready to earn rookie starting time. Type with intriguing ceiling, though faces an early learning curve. Top ten first round selection and solid value who can pay big dividends immediately. Prospect with impact ability in the right setting and alignment. Capable of being one of the best #2 receivers in the league. Playmaker with high level of development and a type who can continue his top production in the NFL. Top 10 selection and NFL ready with refined skills on a big stage.
\nDraft Projection: 1st Round<\/strong><\/p>\n
