Some of that actually scares me quite a bit...Don't get me wrong, he's clearly a good athlete and I hope he stays committed, but Kill will have a fit if a WR starts backtracking 5-10 yards after making a catch to try to find room to run. No way is that going to work in the Big Ten (or any other D-1 conference). Might be a great plan in high school, but that's a habit that will need to be forgotten in college.

On a more serious note, no matter the level of talent, I think he redshirts to break the habit of giving ground.Some of those runs after the catch bring flashbacks of Fran Tarkenton.
Worked for Reggie Bush.
