Combine: 4.47s 40, 33"vert
Strengths: Off-hand & burst help defeat and overtake press. Creates throwing windows with suddenness at break points. Displays good focus in catching in a crowd. Catches with sudden hands and elite catch radius. Vice-grip hand strength rarely lets him down.
Weaknesses: Effectiveness can be diminished by physical press. Leaves coverage unstacked when he gets the ear;y advantage. Needs to learn to carve out & protect his catch space. Allows trespassers to tilt 50/50 balls in their favor. Missed time to injury, including a spring '21 ACL tear.
Score: 6.23 (Will eventually become an average starter) Next Gen: 78 (Good)

Combine: 5.00s 40, 27.5"vert
Strengths: Lands hands quickly with initial strike. Hands & feet work well together. Hips and shoulder-turn to entice whiffed blocks. Uses one-arm press to lift & separate. Ability to toggle between finesse and power. Spin counter is quick and well-balanced.
Weaknesses: Lacks clear-cut position fit. Late getting lateral versus zone blocks. Pass rush lacks suddenness to put blocker in a bind. Disappointing acceleration as a looper on tackle/end twists. Gradual closing burst turns would-be sacks into hurries.

Combine: 4.32s 40, 39"vert
Strengths: Quick stem and release versus press. Feet are fluid & fast throughout the route. Gliding speed surprises the coverage. Reads the defense in scramble situations and finds open grass. Speed to eliminate tackle angles after the catch. Jitter-and-go punt return talent.
Weaknesses: Can be knocked off route path by physical coverage. Badly beaten when competing for 50/50 throws. Needs to create a cleaner catch window as a pro. Quickly tackled with modest effort by defenders. Bad habit of fielding punts inside the 5-yard line.

2021: Honorable All-BIG 10, 35rec/326yds 2TDs, 1att/7yds
Combine: 4.72s 40, 32.5"vert
Strengths: Former RB provides potential run & catch versatility. Hands are natural, strong & quick. RB instincts and acceleration as a target in the screen game. Accelerates quickly and finishes powerfully after the catch. Experience with punt coverage & kick returns.
Weaknesses: One-speed route runner. Minimal depth of target as a college pass-catcher. Requires additional control and technique as a blocker. Lacks coordination of hands & feet at the point of attack. Missing length & mass to control an NFL defender.

Strengths: Possesses NFL arm talent and an expedited release. Deep throws come out without much effort. Throws with confidence when he's on the move. Shows ability to sit down & drive throws into windows. Pocket mobility buys additional time to search for throws.
Weaknesses: Gets stuck on one side of the field with his reads. Coverage recognition can be a problem. Ball placement on intermediate throws need work.
Score: 5.69 (Chance to make the bottom of the roster or Practice Squad)
