What the analysts are saying
- "Ultra-twitchy, yards-after-the-catch specialist who also has experience as a wildcat quarterback. Natural runner who quickly notices cutback lanes. Doesn't lose speed with making cuts." - CBS Sports
- "James lacks size and his focus as a pass-catcher is very average, but he does have talent that could be developed with more time." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
