He's ideally suited for an offensive system that prioritizes timing and precision routes, such as the West Coast offense, due to his quickness and route-running ability.
As a rookie, he projects as a rotational receiver who can contribute immediately on special teams, with a ceiling to become a high-volume, starting slot or boundary receiver.
He would struggle in a run-heavy, play-action oriented offense that rarely utilizes receivers on complex routes.
His athleticism and refined route running make him a versatile weapon for an offense that values quick, shifty playmakers.
Selected #66 overall in Round 3 of the 2019 NFL Draft by Pittsburgh Steelers out of Toledo.
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.
