Out of all the top prospects I looked into heavily, he was the one I wanted the least. Just looks so slow overall. Slow off the line. Slow straight line speed. Slow out of breaks. Struggles to get open against any halfway decent competition.
Reality is that he put up huge numbers vs bottom tier garbage competition - guys who are not even on the NFL radar and will end up selling car insurance. Whenever he went up against potential NFL talent, he couldn't get open.
Twice against Travis Hunter, 2023 15 yards, 2024 38 yards - and go back and watch the games (if you want), he could not get open AT ALL. Was completely blanket covered all game long. That's what you're going to be getting in the NFL, no insurance salesmen to beat up on anymore. Probably best case scenario he ends up a mid-tier forgettable JAG type WR. Really low ceiling for a top 10 pick.
I'm honestly not even sure if I would have used a 2nd rounder on him much less #8 overall.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
