Not sure about how he was used in Detroit. He had a prolific college career at SDSU and was a more than capable receiver out of the backfield. He has flashed at times for the Lions, but lacks the elite athletic qualities to be a regular starter.

If by "elite athletic qualities"  you mean great combine and pro day numbers as measured by sparq,  he actually has great, or pretty great numbers there. 

Top 20% sparq.

The 40 time and the 10 split are not great.

The 3 cone + shuttle (quickness) are great.  The bench + jumps (explosiveness) are great.

Quick and explosive but not fast.
