For me, the first thing that jumps off the tape is Keys’ ability to stay in the hip pocket of a receiver in the open field. His long strides and quick acceleration makes it very difficult for receivers to beat him deep.
While his frame is fairly lean, Keys is capable of being a heavy-hitter, and that should only become more prevalent as he puts on some weight in college. His capabilities as a receiver are intriguing, as he showed a great ability to adjust to the ball and make the most of it when he had it in his hands. Still, it is hard to imagine Keys straying from the defensive side of the ball when Blake Baker gets his hands on him.
