Found some tape...im no analyst, nor do I pretend to be, but this is what I saw:
Preface by saying this was only one game, and his QB was really bad.
Not a natural hands catcher, especially on the deep ball. Qb made some pretty innacurate throws, but he struggled mightily in tracking and high pointing the ball in the few reps that I saw. Rather than go up and get the ball, he let it hit the cb in the back or waited for it to HOPEFULLY drop in over the shoulder. Also, dropped quite a few balls that hit him in the hands. He was, however, able to pluck a few balls out of the air, away from his body. Did not show any Vernon Davis esque body catches. Based on production in college (3500+ yards) he obviously can catch some.
Lacked crisp route running, with no suddeness or burst to his step. Not able to get much separation off of route running alone. Tripped over players in traffic as well.
Showed a willingness to engage in pass blocking, but not in sustaining the blocks.
Body language, to me, screamed frustration and then disinterest. Team was getting blown out, and he made it obvious he didn't think anything he did would change that. Similar to torrey smith last year, first he looked like he was mad the qb couldn't hit him, and then he had just given up completely.
Obviously, the elite size and athleticism should get him drafted, but probably not before the 5th round. I'd still want the miners to take a flyer personally.
