Strengths
- size, speed and ball skills to become a very good NFL receiver
- smart player who knows can beat defenders with double-moves and subtle fakes
- good foot quickness necessary to beat NFL press and shake defenders with speed and sudden change of direction
- can beat defenses deep and is a proven jump-ball winner
- plays bigger then his frame might suggest and can win via contested catches and engage as a solid run blocker
Weaknesses
- Lacks consistency play to play and game to game: 6 of 14 games in 2023 with fewer than 40 yards receiving (but 3 games over 100 yards receiving)
- Tends to be focused on the long ball vs quick pass short game
- Needs to improve catching with hands
- Next level will require sharper routes with timing, efficiency and finish
- Must work to improve route-running ability to be effective in the shorter and more intermediate areas of the field
