Official Bio

Strengths:
A terrific athlete...Great timed speed and has a burst...Very strong and extremely tough...Elusive and is difficult to tackle...Runs well after the catch...Vertical threat who can stretch the field...Good vision and balance...Also an excellent return man.

Weaknesses:
Doesn't have ideal size or bulk...Has a ways to go as a route runner..Will struggle to beat the jam in the NFL...Trys hard but will never be a great blocker...Durability is an issue...Was not overly productive...Was never "the guy" in college...Upside?

Notes:
Similar to former Hokie David Clowney, who was selected in the fifth round a year ago...Reportedly bench presses 390-pounds...He's a threat to score every time he touches the ball...Needs to show that he can stay healthy...Could see action as a backup wideout but he'll likely earn his paycheck as a return specialist in the pros.
