Royals is going to make some offensive coordinator very happy as a field-stretcher who can house it from anywhere on the field. After watching every snap from his last two seasons, what jumps out is how he's developed into more than just a straight-line burner. His basketball background shows up constantly - the way he sets up breaks, maintains speed through cuts, and creates after the catch reminds me of a point guard working in space. In the right system, he's going to be a nightmare on deep overs and slot fades where he can build speed and work away from leverage.
The fit that keeps jumping off my notes is San Francisco - imagine him running those deep cross concepts off of Shanahan's play-action game, or Detroit where Ben Johnson could deploy him as a moveable chess piece who can stretch the field vertically while working those catch-and-run concepts underneath. He'd eat up those voids created by their run game. The Ravens are another scheme fit - their vertical passing game needs exactly what Royals brings to the table.
The tape shows a player who's just scratching the surface. Sure, he needs work defeating press and his route breaks could be sharper, but you can't teach that explosive gear he hits or the natural feel he shows for manipulating space. Some evaluators will get hung up on the level of competition, but that 211-yard game against Boise State's NFL-caliber secondary told me everything I needed to know. Trust your eyes on this one - he's going to outplay his draft position.
