He is a slot receiver for Nebraska — at least that is his primary role. A 5-foot-10, 175-pound senior, he actually is adept at all three receiver positions because he is a playbook whiz kid, which helps explain why he garnered ample playing time last season.

Another reason he plays, despite being undersized, is because he has good hands. Maybe the best hands on the team.
