neath. Has added
some good weight
to his frame. Quality
route runner. Lacks
the ability to create
separation at a high
level. Not a threat
vertically.
Posted an 11.95
100-meter time as a sophomore. Did not
run again, and speed remains a concern.
Not very elusive. Needs to play with
more physicality as he continues to bulk
up. Thicker than previous slot takes.
Reminds Me Of: Michigan wide re-
ceiver Anthony Simpson. When looking
at portal film last cycle, Simpson was
a slot receiver who found ways to get
open and make plays at a lower level. At
Michigan, he's been a depth piece. The
same should be expected of Pile.
