He finished the last two seasons with a combined 110 receptions, 16 touchdowns, and 1616 yards. Each season kept him productive as a consistent No. 2 to Xavier Restrepo who had big games himself.

This season, his best games came within the last three games of the season. Two of those were losses but he was still productive as a primary target for Cam Ward.

With great stats, one of the key things will be his attitude on and off the field. Many unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on the field cost a few games over the past two seasons for the Canes. That will be one of the most interesting things to pay attention to as the team evaluates and prepares to draft the talented receiver.
