Zero tangible intelligence, but a great football player with a hard work ethic. Got to see him play a few times personally, friends still live in Pitt and whatnot. Extremely fast, extremely quick first step. His ability to accelerate through the first 10 yards is probably unmatched in this draft when you put the pads on and toss them all in grass. He really moves. Alright blocker, has a really good awareness for how the flow of a play and game is going. If you watch him basically get shutout in the shrine game, at first glance, you'll think he couldn't separate and that he's not worth a damn. Upon further review, you'll see him 35 yards down the field with 5 yards of separation while the QB checks down or gets pressured into an early throw. He literally clowned all over that secondary but had zero production come from it thanks to a set of QB's worried about stats rather than the game, at least for the section of the game where JB was playing WR. As soon as he was out of the game and they changed QB's, boom deep throws all day. Probably would have benefited immensely from being played in the late third early 4th. Tiny little baby hands, but tracks the ball very well into his hands. Excellent field vision and a solid return man.
He's listed as a "priority free agent" headed into this combine, definitely going to come out of it and through pro days as a round 5-7 type. Easily leapfrogged half the field based solely on the gauntlet drill.
