Injury Report
2007: Was limited in spring drills and fall camp by a nagging left wrist injury that would eventually require surgery...Missed the second half of the Central Florida game (9/15) due to a left ankle sprain...Re-injured his wrist vs. Kansas State (9/29) and again the next game vs. Oklahoma (10/03)...Underwent left wrist surgery Oct. 16 and missed the team's final seven games...Underwent ligament surgery in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. Thomas R. Hunt III, University of Alabama-Birmingham director of orthopedic surgery, performed the minor ligament reconstruction and predicts a smooth journey for the All-American.
Negatives: Has excellent size and good strength, but he is not a face-up blocker and tends to shy away from contact when asked to lead block on sweeps and outside runs...Has had several problems with his left wrist that forced him to undergo mid-season surgery in 2007 and further medical evaluation is advised...Has a very fluid running stride, but is raw in his route running technique and needs to refine his plant-and-drive agility coming out of breaks (takes soft angle cuts, at times)...Also needs to show better stop-and-go action, as he will take a few false steps when trying to redirect back to the quarterback...Breaks off his routes too early when trying to get separation, and while he has a good reach he spends too much time trying to overpower press coverage defenders rather than trying to slip past and avoid...Also likes to combat with the defenders down field in attempts to get them out of their backpedal early, but it also ends up slowing down his route progression...Has had a history of concentration problems which prevents him from getting proper position to make the catch...Must do a better job of looking the ball in and securing it before trying to run with it (leads to dropped balls)...Has good leaping ability, but shows poor timing and arm extension trying to battle for jump balls (left 20 of 39 passes thrown to him behind in 2007)...More of a straight-line runner who can get under the pass nicely running straight-line routes, but lacks the loose hips to get a clean break and is more apt to break arm tackles rather than elude the defender in the open...For some reason, he failed to drop his weight and keep his feet working through pattern progression in 2007.
