02Scheme fit
Ideal system
West Coast timing offense, emphasizing precise route running and quick-hitting passing plays to move the chains.
Slot WRFlanker (Z) WRMotion receiver
Best role
Immediate contributor in the slot or as a Z-receiver, ideally developing into a consistent WR2 with strong route-running acumen.
Wrong fit
A run-first, ground-and-pound offense that primarily asks receivers to block and relies on play-action deep shots.
A polished route runner perfectly suited for an offense that values technical precision and consistent separation.
04The evaluation
Selected #57 overall in Round 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft by Los Angeles Rams out of Florida.
