Draft Profile & Scouting Report
Above average vision and tends to gravitate to daylight well but does lacks vision inside running between the tackles
Above average to potential homerun speed 4.42 (88th PCTL) 40ty yard dash; gets to top speed in only a couple steps
Above average quickness and acceleration; fast out of the gate and does not tend to lose speed with cuts
Flashes special ability as a receiver with very natural hands and PLUS route running ability; instant asset to the receiving game
Good production as a receiver with 27 catches on 30 targets for 274 yds and 4 TDs with no drops in 2021
Excellent ball security with no fumbles in 2021 and only 1 fumble in 2020
EXCELLENT draft capital at (2; 63) to BUF
Exceptional landing spot for immediate/early production; likely is a Day 1 starter on 3rd down with upside to take over a more developed role as the year progresses
A little on the thin side at 5’ 11”, 199 lbs
Profiles as a 3rd-down change-of-pace running back restricted to running outside the tackles
Not a very physical running back and does not break tackles; only 25 missed tackles forced on 113 attempts
Does not flash the special open filled elusiveness that you would expect; relies more on top-end speed, more of a 1-speed runner
Wasn’t asked to do much in pass protection for a reason
Ankle injury and surgery in 2019 causing him to miss the sugar bowl; shoulder & hand injuries in 2021 caused him to miss time
