Tough, physical receiver with amazing footwork. Good, but not great speed, but the ability to make players miss is top-level. Highly instinctive when it comes to avoiding tacklers. He’s got great leaping ability, which he shows more than once by jumping over opponents. Really good hands; grabs the ball out of the air and watches it in before heading upfield. Another extremely good addition to the receiver corps who has the ability to play in the slot or outside.
