Thanks Grad for posting that film up.
I am about as far from an expert talent evaluator as one can get, but I see an awful lot to like about this kid. Obviously the speed, but with the level of competition, I was looking for something else, and there was plenty to see.
Good hands and ball skills, caught it in traffic, when it was high, low or behind him. Good open field vision with pretty good wiggle, also showed a pretty good use of his blockers. Not an easy kid to bring down, seldom did the first guy get him down, and saw few if any arm tackles do the trick. It looked like he has decent route running as well, was used out of the backfield, on reverses, and screens, caught it accross the middle and obviously ran a lot of go routes with the speed differences with his competition. Good hands and his vision and wiggle helped on punt returns.
I like this kid a lot and hope at the very least he gets a real good look from the staff. I also would not mind seeing the play package he was used in, implemented for RSmall or Flash.
I'm interested in seeing others evaluation of his film to see if I'm looking at what I'm supposed to be and seeing it
