Great speed but a lot of scouts see him as a special teams workhorse that you will need to "develop" at WR.

Projections - 4th/5th round by many.
Looks like he was at Southern Cal for 4 years before transferring to Tennessee where he played for two more years. I believe the 2020 season didn't count against eligibility. He must have got a redshirt back in 2016, his first year at USC.

Possibly.

Wes Welker, Julian Edelman, D Baldwin come to mind.

Holy crap. I saw some blurbs of him moving up draft boards but dang, I didn't realize he's that much older than everyone else. I would have thought he went on a Mormon mission. I mean... at least he's physically developed.

I'm hanging my hat on Sam Howell as our first round pick.

Keep it coming fellas. Thanks for sharing. I love the draft process where I learn about players. Even if we don't draft them if I see the players in the future then I'll know them better. It's a win/win.
