I've mocked him a few times, so your comment made me look him up on wiki. born January 29th 2001, so on the older side yeah, but only a year or two older than most. Should still have a pretty long career barring injury.

Yeah he’s not in Grandpa Velus territory or anything.

@dabears70 posted about him in the past. Only knock is his age, late bloomer. Not sure how that affects him going forward. He’s got elite size & speed though

Poles gonna avenge his Jones Jr. pick with this guy.

Good player, I see him as more of a Deebo Samuel or Cordarell Patterson type player. Chess piece type guy. Not a traditional WR. I'd take him mid 2nd to early 3rd.

He's a freak and will be dangerous on shallow crosses and at the catch point. Bit of a loper though, probably will struggle with separation. His gait just doesn't lend itself to change of direction. Bet he's a second rounder with strong upside.

In watching the highlights, you see a solid prospect in Rattler as well, a dude who can navigate the pocket and is pretty accurate. Looks like a mid-rounder to me.

It looks like they use him as a ball carrier fairly often similar to deebo. I assume a good OC would try to get the ball in his hands in space a lot and let him work

Yes, he reminds me of Deebo although less fluid. He looks ridiculously fast once he gets into a straight line though, and he's got a really wide body that can box out lots of DB on jump balls. Lots of shorts crosses and jump balls against man. Not sure he will be as effective against zone early on, but could be a really dangerous player imo.
