Close your eyes. Tie your ankles together. Now prepare to try and tackle Kirk in open space. That is how it sometimes appears when #3 is on the field, making tacklers miss, as he blazes down the sidelines.

The junior receiver is a top athlete, possessing all the tools to garner first round attention in next years NFL Draft. Very quick and fast, Kirk is also very strong for his size. He is a game changer and big play maker via the passing game or on special teams.

Tremendous avoiding contact and making defenders miss, Kirk is exceptional at changing direction and making quick decisions to gain yards.
