Darden is 5'7-5/8" and 174 pounds. I like the kid but not many 5'8" receivers have amounted to much of anything in the NFL. Obviously, he's a pure slot option and maybe he'll be good enough he can carve out a nice career. All that juking isn't going to work against guys that run as fast, or faster than you, and don't miss as often.
He could very well carve out a very good career as a #5 type that is an outstanding returner.
