From a pure "fit" standpoint, is he a move the chains bruiser or does he need space to operate? I love his hands, and only McCaffery is a better receiving threat.
After watching him take over that Michigan game, it was easy to fall in love with the guy. I just don't know if that is the guy we would have day in and day out. One thing I hate (don't mean to make this political at all...I believe in the 2nd amendment, but I am not a fan of guns and I think some societal issues give rise to easy mistakes with them) is the repeated gun issues.
Still, it is a 2nd round pick, and he could be viewed as McCaffery talent in Rd 2. I have attached an interesting article. It is a bit long, but a very interesting read.

He's more of a poor man's Barry Sanders, makes people miss, and doesn't require a lot of space to maneuver. He plays faster than he really is. He's pretty stout, and can break a tackle, but he's no LF bruiser type. He's a homerun threat every time he touches the ball moving the chains kinda guy.
