Thank you to Hotboyz for putting this guy on my radar. I am going on record: he will be an NFL star--sooner than later. I just traded to secure him and I couldn't be happier; here's why.
1) Yes, he is an undrafted FA and they don't have a high success rate. But, I think it must have something to do with him having only one stellar season (Senior year) and not doing very well at Combine. That don't concern me much...
2) His Senior year was the best by any Miami Hurricane WR and they have had some great NFL WRs come out of there.
3) He had a great OTA and camp--the injuries to second round pick Allen Robinson and to Cecil Shorts and the suspension of Ace Sanders has opened the door. Opportunity knocks...and opportunity is critical.
4) He is playing with his college OC--so he knows the playbook.
5) Look at his tape--he catches with his hands extended! He adjusts to the ball in the air! He gets separation off the line. And he has good RAC ability.
6) He has performed in the preseason, when given opportunity, and is one of the best WRs this preseason. Ok, there are many preseason wonders who disappear, but I don't think that will happen because he has done much of it against first team defenses. These aren't scrubs.
7) The QB of the future, Bortles, seems to have a good connection with him.
8) Good size--at 6'3'' and 200 lbs. His speed is not stellar (40 time at 4.5) but it's good enough. He seems to have a quick initial step off the line.
9) Jacksonville will have to pass a lot this year I think...and there isn't a lot of competition. Lee and Robinson are both rookies and Shorts is a WR2 playing a featured receiver.
I could be wrong, but I think this guy has the IT factor.
