Positives
Has very good size with a solid frame and a vast wingspan...Excellent leaper with good body control and ball skills...Great natural athlete...Has big, strong hands...A long-strider who plays faster than he times...Is an excellent blocker...Physical and runs pretty well after the catch...Tough and is not afraid of contact...A force in the red zone who has made a lot of big plays during his career...A leader with solid intangibles...He has only touched the tip of the iceberg in terms of his potential.
Negatives
Timed speed is only average at best and he is not overly quick...Has had a lot of trouble with dropped balls...Is still raw and relatively new to the game...Let's the ball get into his body too often...Needs to become a better route runner...Won't stretch the field, struggles to separate and he isn't a big play threat...Is not there yet when it comes to identifying coverages...Needs to show better concentration.
Notes:
Did not play football until his junior year of high school...Underwent LASIK surgery on his eyes in the offseason prior to the '06 season to correct his vision in hopes that it would help to eliminate some of the dropped balls that plagued him...Was JaMarcus Russell's go-to receiver...Seems to be getting better every year and still has a lot of upside...Not as good as Michael Clayton was coming out but is similar.
