02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Cardinals' Air Raid system, characterized by vertical passing concepts and a focus on YAC, provides a good framework for a developing receiver.

X-receiverBoundary receiverSlant/dig specialist
Best role

Initially a rotational outside receiver with the potential to develop into a reliable Z-receiver who can win contested catches and contribute significantly to intermediate routes on the perimeter.

Wrong fit

A run-heavy, play-action oriented offense that prioritizes blocking from its wide receivers and features limited passing game volume would underutilize his primary skill set.

His size and strength are well-suited for battling defensive backs on vertical routes and contested catches, aligning with the aggressive downfield passing game.

04The evaluation

Selected #98 overall in Round 3 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Arizona Cardinals out of Grambling State.
