STRENGTHS
TuTu is a speed receiver with the quickness to separate from any defensive player on the field you put up against him. He shows excellent hands to catch the deep ball and as far as being able to catch contested passes forgetaboutit, because his ability to separate doesn’t allow for any defensive back to stay with him to contest a pass. TuTu can play inside receiver or outside, as a receiver. He is smart and shows the ability to get open when the play breaks down, and when that happens big plays are bound to follow. In the middle of the field, TuTu is a threat on every pass play (no matter the down and distance) to score a touchdown or make big yardage on those third and long downs. TuTu can be a weapon but like most weapons, if they are not able to be used or get broken then they will not be effective.
CONCERNS
TuTu size and lack of bulk makes him an easy to be a target for defensive backs to punish him on every route and every tackle and that means TuTu might not be available to impact. The other side to that argument is that he is so fast and quick and it’s hard for an opponent to get their hands on him to punish him and be physical with him, at least they weren’t able to at the college level.
BOTTOM LINE 2.64
You would like to use TuTu’s speed and quickness on special teams but the truth is, seeing a 230lbs special teams’ player, going down the field like a mad man, making a hit on this kid at full force, scares the crap out of me and makes me think that we might never see him on a football field ever again. I’m not suggesting TuTu is frail, on contrary, he’s a tough kid and a smart kid and knows how to keep away from getting hit. He is not afraid to go over the middle or make the tough catch to move the chains but the fact of the matter is, that’s not the smart way to use him. To use him on the return units on special teams is not smart either. You use him the outside so that he can use the sidelines to his advantage keeping him away from the big hits and using his speed to keep the defense-wide and making a safety have to help over the top. That opens up the middle of the field because anytime TuTu gets his hands on the ball, he can take it to the house. Think of him as a Don Beebe, John Brown, Ted Ginn type of impact player whose impact is in the potential to score on any play, making defenses game plan for him and not so much in the stats at the end of the game. Although if you have a strong-arm QB, who can throw the ball to him on those exciting deep passes, then maybe, just maybe, if he stays healthy, the stats will follow.
