AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
 Ability To Beat Jams
 Elusiveness with Catch
 Size
Little guy with a great deal of speed and quickness. Some double catching on comebacks and when running across the formation, but also showed the ability to adjust and run under the ball on vertical routes. Explosive in and out of a break and in spite of his size, proved to be a tough guy on the inside. Looked somewhat shaky fielding punts in 07, but with added confidence should develop in this area. Adequate blocker. Round 6 to 7 consideration.
