Explosive short receiver finished with an outstanding final performance where he polished his talent significantly for the pro game. Produced a 1000 yard receiving 2022 season. Finished with over 3000 career receiving yards and 29 TDs in an offense where he was keyed on consistently over his final few seasons. Fluid athlete with exceptional quickness to create space and find soft spots in coverage. Easy mover in his routes who separates consistently and the speed to run away from tacklers. Best suited for the slot, though was also productive from the outside. Natural running skills allow to Jet sweeps and bubble screens where he is very dangerous in space. Undersized playmaker can provide impact for a passing game, though his effectiveness may be limited to the slot role, though a high-level pro. First round bubble prospect and early performer in multiple sets with impact ability.
