The Upside

Good size for a slot receiver and performed very well at his pro day running a blazing 4.3 forty. Good hands. Has the size to play inside or outside and was used on end arounds and bubble screens to maximize his athletic ability.

Offers tons in the return game. Can throw the ball and threw a touchdown pass to quarterback Brett Hundley in 2013 against Utah. A versatile, Swiss army knife type player.

The Improvements Needed

Does not play to his timed speed and never quite showed the speed that was on his high school film leading me to wonder if he was thinking too much while playing at UCLA. Missed a number of games in 2015 with head and leg injuries.

Thin frame and may not survive the pounding at the next level. Hands are good but not great. Still needs to refine his route tree and wasn’t asked to run a full route tree at UCLA. Despite having a better overall passer in 2015, his numbers dipped.

Final Analysis

However his game film leaves a lot to be desired especially when it comes to production. He can be polished and perhaps he will shine much brighter in the NFL like a
