This was uploaded after he transferred so I hadn't seen it until now. Now that I have I'm a lot more positive about this pickup.
He shows a variety of release solutions, winning a lot of reps vs a good press corner in Elam without getting targeted. I liked seeing him adjust routes vs zone and he looks like an intelligent receiver overall. He's a very enthusiastic blocker and uses his length to his advantage. His change of direction was also better than I previously thought.
There are still issues like body control and hands. He lets the ball into his frame and uses incorrect hand position at times, which to me shows a lack of confidence in his hands to snag passes. But he did extend for one in a Miami highlight vid so hopefully that's corrected.
Anyway, even if his hands are a letdown he can still win outside at the line, create some in-cut separation and be assignment-sound. I'm comfortable with him getting the bulk of snaps at X or Z so we just need 1 other guy to step up opposite him.
