If a guy can get open in a confined space like the 4 yard line, it means he can get open.

In college(yeah, I know college different, not like pros), they almost never ran him deep down the sidelines.  Most of the deep balls they threw to him were in the middle of the field.   They threw him shallow and deep crossers, jet screens, bubble screens, quick slants, etc.

And he is as quick as he is fast.  He has the ability to make defenders look silly. But, as a Bengal, 90% of what he did was Go Long down the sidelines.  If you draft a guy based on what he did in college, why on earth would you never do any of those things?  It would be like drafting Carl Lawson cuz he rushes the passer and then never let him rush the passer.
