SCOUT's TAKE: "Big leg and he's athletic," says Bengals area scout Andrew Johnson. "We'll see if he hangs it up long enough and directionally punt consistently. But he has the leg strength."

BORN: 6/2/98 … HOMETOWN: Libertyville, IL

SCOUT's TAKE: "For us, having a safe punt return guy is important," says area scout Christian Sarkisian. "He practiced three blocks away from Lake Michigan for four years. He can operate split out, but he's more natural in the slot. He's deceptively quick, fast with a 4.48 40."

He's a shifty, fast quick athlete who tested really well at his pro day. He's got the second highest missed tackle rate of all the backs in this year's draft class."
