The fastest receiver at the NFL Scouting Combine, Heyward-Bey will succeed if put in the position to use his speed. Whether after the catch or taking a handoff on a reverse, Heyward-Bey is dynamic with the ball in his hands.

He has proven capable of making the tough catch. But being forced to make the tough catch could come back to hurt him. Without a reliable quarterback, Heyward-Bey struggled to put up great numbers on the college level. Or is that just an excuse?

Since that video had only one play, here is 9 minutes of DHB via the YouTube. I cannot vouche for the music, though.
