Positives: Rare height for the position
Lean build that could handle an additional 10 pounds of added muscle without a significant loss of speed
Elite timed speed
Supposedly timed at a 4.33 by Virginia Tech coaches during the spring -- fastest on the team
Uses his size and leaping ability to make the tough, acrobatic catches against tight coverage
Generally reliable hands.
Negatives: More style than substance throughout most of his career
Tall, but lacks the thick, strong build to handle when cornerbacks press him
Elite straight-line speed doesn't translate well on the field due to his long-stride running style
Marginal quickness out of his breaks
Lets too many passes get into his pads, resulting in some ugly drops
Limited production until his senior season.
