– Lengthy wingspan that expands his catch radius significantly
– Sticky hands that can snag any pass out of the air
– Good initial explosion that threatens the cushion of linebackers
– Demonstrates a diverse release package that includes a side-step or hesitation
– Utilizes a club-rip to break past press coverage with a leverage advantage
– Fluid movement with good feet that can sink his hips and make sharp cuts
– Good understanding of tempo by giving the defender false security before igniting 2nd gear
– Understands how to attack a defender’s blind spot in coverage
– Excels at working over the middle and attacking seams vertically
– Electric “above the rim” capability with good leaping ability and natural hands

The Bad
