Official Bio

Strengths:
Very good size with long arms and excellent bulk...Smooth natural athlete...Great timed speed...Extremely elusive and runs well after the catch...Terrific vision...Has reliable hands and he'll pluck the ball...Great leaping ability and ball skills...Tough, strong and physical...Is also an outstanding return man...Still has a ton of upside.

Weaknesses:
Only had one big season at the college level...Not a great route runner...Does not necessarily play to his timed speed and lacks a burst...Hasn't been a true vertical threat to this point...Average blocker....Raw and could take some time to develop.

Notes:
JUCO transfer from Coffeyville Community College...Made little or no impact in his first year with the Spartans but then exploded once Mark Dantonio replaced John L. Smith and implemented a new offense...A One Year Wonder who would appear to have all the physical tools you look for...May have more long-term upside than any wideout in this draft, but whoever drafts him will probably have to be patient.
