Givens fits best in a vertical passing game that prioritizes speed and the ability to stretch the field.
As a rookie, Givens can be an immediate deep threat and a return specialist, with the ceiling to develop into a primary vertical target.
He would be a poor fit in a run-heavy, ball-control offense that rarely takes shots downfield.
Givens' elite speed and ability to track deep balls make him a dangerous weapon in offenses designed to attack downfield.
Selected #96 overall in Round 4 of the 2012 NFL Draft by St. Louis Rams out of Wake Forest.
