| PRO | CON |
|---|---|
| True burner with or without the ball in his hands. Doesn’t need any time to ramp up, one step and go. Better at the catch-point than his frame would suggest. Great tracking ability and good vision after the catch as well. | Very limited route tree in a simplistic and sometimes freelance-heavy system. Doesn’t often win with physicality at the line of scrimmage and struggles without a clean release. |
OVERVIEW: It's not often that a player is still named to the all-conference team despite nearly missing half the season. However, that's what Royals was able to achieve after missing five games due to a foot injury and still taking home All-Mountain West honors. He finished his senior season with 55 receptions, 834 yards and six touchdowns. Royals tallied at least 112 yards in each of his last four games, including a 211-yard, two touchdown performance against the College Football Playoff-bound Boise State Broncos. Stood out at the Senior Bowl as well.
