So, this guyâs a tough kid and you go back and watch his 2024 film, you really get to see what            a special talent he is. Iâd describe him as just a great athlete. Great athlete, really fast and heâs fast in a lot of different ways. Heâs fast at the 40 time. The GPS is really, really high on him. End game. And then the old scoutâs eye, you see him, he plays fast and he plays at a high level.        Heâs an NFL route runner. He can win versus press. He can beat man coverage and so we really like the versatility of him as well. He can play inside. He played a lot inside this year. He played outside last year and thatâs really the thing that differentiated him from a lot of guys is winning outside and winning against really good players outside, especially in 2024. So, NFL route runner thereâs just a lot of really, really good things about him an d just an all around great package. So thrilled to have him, thrilled to add him to the wide receiver room and just a happy, good couple days here.
I think, if he could, he can play Z and F or you know, Z and slot. And so, heâll work at both of those.         There are things that he can show you can play outside: Heâs     not huge, but he is not small. He    âs just a hair under six feet and heâs a really tough player and heâs got really good releases. He plays really fast. So those things allow him to win on the outside versus bigger corners. So even though he is not a 6-4 guy, he can still win on the outside and his speed and his releases and his route running and his details allow him to do that. And the same thing with inside is he can win with his quickness as well.â
I think the [game] that really sold it for me was playing Georgia in 2024, and just seeing him play outside and just seeing him win like you would see NFL guys win on Sundays.â
He is a good blocker as well. Heâs a willing blocker; he is a tough blocker and he is willing to sell out over the middle. You know, thereâs a lot of plays where he is exposed but will go up and get it, and heâs not worried about getting hit â and that impressed me a lot too. actually. I saw that â I wasnât expecting that â and then seeing that on the tape it was really a pleasant surprise.â Heâs not huge, but he is not small either. Where theyâre not the 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 guys, they can play and they can run and they can do the other things that maybe allow you to play outside.â
