| Scouting Report | Potential |
| His outside running game will become a positive part of the overall package. Experts feel that he has the hands to develop solid pass catching skills. As he adjusts to the college game, his speed will definitely be an advantage. His blocking skills won't ever carry his game, but should be adequate. |
