Youtube videos are no substitute for actual scouting of course, but there are several positives that present themselves on that footage.
For starters, there seems to be no wasted motion. Every step, or half step, has a purpose.
His change of direction is deceivingly subtle and he seems to be able to stop, or at least pause, on a dime. His acceleration is just as sudden off a cut.
In those plays shown, he displays good vision and seems to have good anticipation of blocking development.
Lastly, he displays good contact balance- except for that one run where he's trucked at the goal line. Even then, he falls forward into the end zone.
P.S.- Though I have no reason to believe they have such plans for him, I believe he could excel as a returner.
