The St. Louis Rams' vertical West Coast offense places a premium on receivers who can run precise routes and generate separation.
Year 1 could see him competing for a primary slot role, with the ceiling to develop into a reliable Z-receiver.
A run-heavy, option-based offense where his primary value would be as a blocker, limiting his receiving opportunities.
His detailed route running and strong hands are well-suited for a timing-based passing game, though his speed may limit his deep threat potential.
Selected #78 overall in Round 3 of the 2011 NFL Draft by St. Louis Rams out of Boise State.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
