From the article

Van Vooren combines decent size with a mouth-watering athletic skillset. He has the straight-line speed to get behind defenders down the seam or on go routes down the sideline, and the build let alone the leaping ability — he is a former hurdler, after all — to be competitive in jump-ball and contested-catch situations.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Van Vooren's athletic toolkit—speed, leaping, length, and versatility—offers legitimate NFL upside.

Van Vooren's athletic profile is described as 'mouth-watering,' combining decent size (6'4.5", 255 lbs) with straight-line speed to get behind defenders on seams and go routes, plus leaping ability from his hurdling background to compete in jump-ball and contested-catch situations. His long arms (8 3/8" hands, 33 1/8" arm length, 81" wingspan) allow him to make catches outside his natural frame. He also demonstrates good feel for tempo, concentration on back-shoulder throws, alignment flexibility, and feisty blocking with active hands at the point of attack.
