Tavon Austin is a very quick, very fast receiver who has put up over 1,600 total yards in West Virginia's pinball wizard offense this season. At 176 pounds, he's also very tiny (I doubt he's actually 5'9 as listed). Austin is a threat to score every time he touches the ball on offense or special teams, and could be a weapon in either facet of the game. He has returned five total kicks for touchdowns over his career. I'm skeptical he'll continue to make this size of an impact at the NFL level when he runs up against bigger slot corners who can cover and press him, but I think he can make a contribution to an NFL roster.

Austin is fast, quick, ad strong. A good route runner and excellent out the backfield if used as a RB like a D Sproles type of player.
