I know he has a lot of athletic abilities. Does he see playing time with the current and incoming WR's we have? Does he have a shot and does he stick at WR? What's the word on this kid I never saw him play at Pine.

Very fast and explosive athlete. He is not a natural at WR and probably came in a little behind where the typical LSU WR recruit is. He did not have a lot of coaching on routes and catching the football before he got here.

He will be a special teams contributor this year, but I don't really see him being in the rotation at WR. He might get a few jet sweeps against the weaker teams on our schedule.

I hope he sticks around, because I think he's a playmaker once he learns to play receiver.

He has something I covet most in an athlete, and that's quickness. Not straight line speed, but the agility lateral movement. He would be a dangerous punt returner in 2016 if given a shot.

He played QB in HS and made people look just downright silly. He's not weak either and I remember him catching a TD in the All American game.

He's going to have to improve on route running and catching the football among other things, but he seems to be quicker than Jarvis Landry and Landry is a slippery one.

Ultimately, I don't expect to see a lot from him outside of special teams in 2016. Once Dural and Dupre leave for the draft then he'll be able to step up in 2017.
