All-Star Games: Was on Senior Bowl roster, but didn’t play in it due to a knee injury.

Positives: Runs with above-average speed, quickness, and acceleration. Above-average routes – they’re crisp and he is quick in and out of breaks. Above-average hands and can high-point passes. Good concentration and effort on contested passes. Above-average body control to adjust to off-target passes, and has the vertical leap to win jump-ball situations. Can hold the ball with a big hit. Nimble on sidelines to get both feet down for the catch. Above-average vision and elusiveness in the open field. Fights hard for extra yards after the catch. Knows when to get out of bounds to stop the clock.

Negatives: Slightly below-average height and bulk for the position. He telegraphs when he will be making a cut in his routes. Doesn’t seem very physical with cornerbacks and will get knocked around. Suspect tracking over his outside shoulder. He still lets ball get to his body too much, and had an issue with drops in 2014. Minor finger injury in August 2013. Concussion in October 2014 and missed one game. Minor knee injury kept him out of the Senior Bowl.

Projection: Round 4.

Was a redshirt senior. Transferred to Washington State in 2013 after one year of junior-college football.

All-Star Games: Senior Bowl.

Positives: Though relatively inexperienced at wide receiver (he was a LB/RB in high school and didn’t play football the first two years of college) he’s already at a fairly high level, and may be improving). Has good height and bulk for the position. Runs with adequate game speed. Though he doesn’t make quick cuts, his routes are usually precise. Leaves a good sideline cushion on deep routes, allowing him to adjust to passes. Above-average hands and can extend well – and pretty fearlessly even in traffic. Concentrates fairly well on contested passes. Tracks passes well over his inside shoulder. Good effort for off-target passes. Heads upfield very quickly after the catch.

Negatives: Inexperienced at the wide receiver position. Will body catch at times. Will round off his routes at times. Below-average acceleration and not very quick out of his breaks – doesn’t seem to get separation easily in his routes and off the line. Below-average balance after his cuts and will slip out of his breaks. Below-average hand size. Broke his right thumb in the 2015 Senior Bowl and was limited in Combine workouts.

Projection: Round 4.

All-Star Games: Senior Bowl.

Positives: Has adequate height and bulk for the position. Accelerates quickly off of the line and runs with good speed. Has good lateral quickness to sidestep the first defender on screens. Runs above-average routes and can set up defenders well for the deep routes. Good tracking over his outside shoulder. Has above-average hands in general, and can extend well. Above-average concentration on contested passes. Adjusts well for off-target passes. Comes back to help quarterback in trouble. Strong after the catch. Is very athletic and was a high jump champion in college. Is also a gunner on the punt team.

Negatives: Below-average vision as a kick returner– gets too far into traffic before making a move, seeming to depend too much on speed and quickness. Isn’t particularly sudden out of his breaks, though he has the acceleration to go after the ball. Suspect concentration and will drop some easy passes coming out of his breaks and over the middle. Below-average tracking over his outside shoulder. Doesn’t get good position on contested passes. Below-average hand size.

Projection: Round 3. A solid deep threat, he doesn’t have as well-rounded of a game as Phillip Dorsett, who should go higher. Will almost definitely still end up as some team’s deep threat and kick returner, and do well at it.

All-Star Games: Shrine Game.

Positives: Very tall for the position, with H-back bulk – overall, has nearly tight end size. Has the ability to accelerate pretty well off the line. Good long speed for his size down the seam. Fair concentration over middle. Generally above-average hands and body control and can catch difficult passes away from his frame while tiptoeing the sideline. Nice vertical leap and is able to go up and catch passes in traffic. Pretty good feet and can get both feet down on sideline passes. Above-average downfield blocker who will wall off defenders to seal the edge on outside runs.

Negatives: Inconsistent effort in getting off the line against press coverage, and sometimes seems to take it too easy. Below-average routes – he is slow into his breaks and has to dial it down a lot – will probably have a hard time getting separation in the pros as a wide receiver. Tends to lunge as a run blocker. Suspended by team in early September 2013 for rule violation. Then was suspended for first two games of 2014 for another team rule violation.

Projection: Round 4. With size, hands, and athleticism, he will fill some team’s needs and should make a roster out of training camp and potentially put up WR3 numbers. I think his inconsistencies will keep him from doing much more.
