1. His ability to find the soft spot in zone coverage. You saw that early on in the video.
2. his ability to make a contested catch. Thec4th and 10 catch.
3. his ability to change the pace of his routes, how he goes in and out of breaks in the route. it's not always full throttle in and out. game winning td catch.
4. Using upper body leans to sell the route one way while his lower body goes the other way. combine his pace with this and that's how you create separation.
5. strong hands. hands catcher throughout the video.
that's how I end up with a grade.
and p.s. that lucky bounce off one receiver to another is lucky. and 37 points to a bad USC team...ouch
