02Scheme fit
Ideal system

He's ideally suited for a modern spread, RPO-heavy system that leverages his receiving ability and vision in space.

3rd Down BackSlot ReceiverSatellite Back
Best role

Immediate impact as a situational pass-catcher and gadget player, with a ceiling as an every-down back in a pass-happy scheme.

Wrong fit

A traditional, downhill power running game that emphasizes running between the tackles.

His size and speed limitations are mitigated in systems that prioritize quick passes and open-field playmaking over raw power.

04The evaluation

Selected #32 overall in Round 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft by Kansas City Chiefs out of LSU.
