Official Bio

Strengths:
A very good athlete...Good size and bulk...Terrific timed speed and quickness with a burst...Good body control and ball skills...An outstanding leaper...Has very good hands...Tough and fearless...A deep threat who can stretch the field vertically...Is elusive and will do some damage after the catch...Solid character..Still has upside.

Weaknesses:
Is not very strong or physical...Will need to improve his route running...He lets too many balls get into his body...A little inconsistent...Sub par blocker...Wasn't overly productive...May have some minor health / durability concerns...An underachiever?

Notes:
Is the nephew of Darnay Scott, who played in the NFL for 8 seasons most notably with the Cincinnati Bengals...He was overshadowed by fab frosh Jeremy Maclin in 2007...From a height/weight/speed standpoint he looks like the prototype but for some reason he just hasn't been able to put it all together quite yet...Underrated prospect with all the physical tools you look for but he will likely be drafted based more on potential than actual production....Intriguing player who could be a steal.
