My Take
I mostly agree on the physical traits as he’s very fluid and has excellent acceleration out of his cuts. He can run routes with the best of them and doesn’t have to take a back seat to Cooper either. To take it a step further, he’s a half a step to a step faster than Cooper in a straight line.
That doesn’t make him a blazer but his route-running in combination with the speed he has makes him a deep threat. He’s a dangerous punt returner so when he gets the ball in space in the passing game, he knows what to do with the ball. And like Broles, I really like what he started doing in the second half of the season to give a hint as to how much better he can get.
I didn’t see where he got to wild with his movements like Dane and Bruglers suggested he did. I also disagree with Broles take on his hips not being fluid because to me, they really are. But I did notices that he drops too many balls that he should easily catch every day of the week.
