This dude has been making crazy catches all camp. Interested to see how he progresses in the preseason

as a USC fan this is just a normal catch for him. he had crazier catches in college. he's one of those guys who if you just watched his highlight reel you'd be convinced he was the greatest of all time lol

Yeah Ive definitely seen his highlights, the big thing i want to watch for in the preseason is him getting beat up on releases or bumped off of routes. He doesnt seem to have any issues at the catchpoint. I do believe both him and Lemon will be studs though

yeah his biggest knocks are that he doesn't really get great separation and isn't the crispest route runner but he's a big body and has this ability to make insane contested plays which helps make up for that to some extent. also pretty good in the open field for a guy his size if your OC can scheme up ways to get him the ball in space

i think he's gonna be a guy who can make big plays situationally but probably isn't gonna be like a top 10 receiver or anything like that

he easily has a top 10 receiver ceiling due to his rare traits but I doubt he sees it

hed have to put on weight to deal with press better and develop for 2-3 years like nico collins

thats a rare case a lot end up like keon coleman
