Looks like primarily a straight-line speed guy. Not going to beat too many legitimate NFL corners with that. But it's OK since he's just a camp body.
I don't understand. There is a video in this thread showing him beating NFL corners.

I figured those were preseason games because the corners looked like bottom-of-the-roster fodder. Kind of like praising a receiver for beating Nashon Wright. It doesn't take that much. Looked his numbers up and he does have 20 catches against NFL corners. I just wouldn't expect him to regularly beat them because he's a straight-line player (like Randall Williams was for us, fast but no real threat breaking off routes). Unless you are playing him like a receiver who can snap out of routes, he's not going to win very many matchups ... only those who underestimate his speed.

I agree, but he could be a decoy and every now and then get a pass thrown his way.

I don't think he'll make the team. We have more intriguing young players IMO, so it makes no sense to keep a player who has already shown what he is, and what that is isn't much.

Really? Steve Walsh was brought in to compete. Or, at least it looked that way to me.
Fair enough, but that was before Aikman had established himself. When Jimmy went with Aikman, he immediately got rid of Walsh.

We will see. The Cowboys do like their shiny objects.

Should have taken him with the 2nd round pick. Also miami + arrested means you messed up.
