His receiving mark peaked early when he created clear separation on a corner route for a 23-yard touchdown catch (Q1 00:57). In the run and screen game, he proved instrumental as a blocker, sealing the edge on a sweep (Q2 09:25) and stalking defensive backs downfield to spring a 47-yard gain (Q4 06:16).
