What the tape shows
All Around ELITE wide receiver. Can play any WR position and is a nightmare in man coverage. One of my favorite things about his game and is that he makes every route look like a go route, until it's not. He runs hitches the way they're supposed to be run, accelerates, pushes vertical and then shuts it down. Because of that, he his extremely effective running Hitch and Go's. He is a player you have to get hands on immediately, but you have to press with your feet, if CB's lunge or try to get too aggressive, they'll be grasping air. Can take the top off of a defense as well as run the intermediate route tree. Could've had 7-10 more touchdowns( had 1,172 12 Td's) if it weren't for inaccurate throws. Effective in the screen and quick game because of his short area quickness and ability to make guys miss in space. Interested to see how Georgia Tech uses him HUGE addition to that already dynamic offense.
