No. It's not hard to see a good cut, whether that's in college or the pros. And that's backed by an outstanding 3-cone time at the combine.

He may be able to cut but he has mediocre burst out of the cut without breakaway speed.

Because he's small and low to the ground, he doesn't have to lose speed on a cut, which makes it more fluid and harder to defend against. He doesn't have the kind of burst Priest Holmes had, but he has tremendous acceleration to break away.

Have we seen this enough in the NFL? No. He seems to tiptoe too much and sometimes doesn't make the cut or hit the lane you'd like to see him hit. IN other cases, he pulls that stupid spin move that doesn't fool anybody. And in other cases, he just isn't given space because of a poorly designed offense.
