If your not a New York Giants fan then... what the hell are you?
[ *  *  *  *  * ]
Positives: Has a solidly-built frame with room to add at least another 10 pounds of bulk with no loss in quickness … Has very well-defined muscles, good bubble, thick thighs and calves, good arm length and large hands … Comes off the line with his pads low and hands extended to jolt and shock the defender to get a clean release off the jam … Demonstrates the hand/eye coordination and natural hands to look the ball in and the leaping ability to get to the throw at its high point … Looks very fluid with good balance throughout his route progression and is quick to uncover … Can separate in the short area and has the valid speed to elude second-level defenders and threaten the secondary … Despite his size, he is slippery enough to avoid the jam and has the hip snap to side-step linebackers trying to reroute him … Won't explode off the line, but has the valid speed to gobble up the cushion and surprise the lethargic safety when challenging the deep zone … Uses his size well to shade defenders and does a very nice job of adjusting his routes to set up the defender … By being a long strider, he doesn't appear fast at first coming off the line, but he will surprise a defender when he builds to top acceleration to ride up on his opponent … Flashes the ability to defeat the jam with his feet and maintains his acceleration throughout the routes … Good at uncovering coming off the line and shows the lateral range to escape and get up field. He can also reach and seal a nine-tech … Has the ability to leverage and weave, stick his feet in the ground and create separation by using his power and frame … Shows the power to break tackles and the stride to separate after the catch … His separation quickness turns defenders out of their backpedal too early and his leg drive is evident when he maintains balance and bounces off when he makes the initial collision with his opponent … Demonstrates good awareness of the sticks and good balance running down the sidelines … Able to maintain position parking over the middle of the field and uses his arms well to get a good push off the defender while maintaining eye contact on the ball in flight … Physical receiver with enough strength to out-battle the defender for the ball and does a good job of looking the ball in over his outside shoulder … Does a fine job of adjusting and contorting his frame to get to the off-target throws and has the balance to maintain his stride when turning up field after the catch … Alert to coverages and has the awareness to locate open lanes … Has made great strides in timing his leap to get to the ball at its highest point and turn suddenly to run with the ball after the catch, thanks largely to his above average balance … Shows proper arm extension to reach for the ball at its high point and the soft hands to look the ball in away from his frame … Shows the leg drive to consistently break tackles … With his size and power, he is simply too much to tackle in one-on-one situations … Lowers his pads and squares his shoulders well to simply obliterate the smaller defensive backs that dare to get in his way.

Negatives: Shoulder injury that ended 2006 season after six games requires further medical evaluation. Does well in school and is a minimal reps type, but because of time away playing basketball, he still needs to learn the intricacies of the game … More of a power-oriented type rather than one who will explode off the ball, but he uses his hands effectively to escape the jam … Has very good timed speed for his position, but you would want to see him use it to explode off the line more often … Shows crisp plant-and-drive agility to come out of his breaks cleanly, but has not had enough coaching in proper route running … Needs to be more precise with his cuts (takes some soft angle ones), but is very effective on outs and crossing patterns … Will sometimes run into spots in the zone, but generally knows where to settle … Generates a strong hand punch to avoid the jam, but needs to work on better hand placement when blocking in-line (short arms at times) … Takes some soft angle cuts, making him late at times when asked to neutralize a linebacker up field … Also needs to work on improving his foot technique when trying to sustain.
