Possession receiver who catches everything. Not very fast and does not have the ability to separate vertically. Long limbs and big hands. Got his head around quickly, locates the football and was surprisingly a very impressive runner after the catch. Effective in the red zone. Canadian and slightly older. Recruited as a QB. Would give 6th to 7th round draft consideration within the league.
