Strengths
Both quick and fast, like Dillard plays bigger that he is;
great character, a hard worker and was a captain this year. He's definitely a vertical threat with elite ability as a return specialist. He is a generally a good route runner who can make the first person miss and does a good job of getting up field, he has impressive body control, solid ball skills and above average hands and can use his shiftiness to avoid the jam through subtle angling. Despite his size he is unafraid of the middle of the field.
Weaknesses
Small frame and can be muscled, also he could work on showing the QB his numbers on in-breaking and crossing routes. He is not a factor as a down field as a blocker, not for lack of willingness but his technique and leg drive need improvement.
Projection
Possible early to mid 2nd day selection whe based on another great year and a combine invitation, he could keep climbing. He is very similar to Santonio Holmes in stature and upside.
