Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to his NFL.com scouting report, the 5-10, 184-pound Royal brings a skill set comparable to that of Buffalo's Roscoe Parrish. Royal is much stronger than Parrish, but both are excellent speed merchants who will have great success as returners. Royal has the ability to be a good vertical threat, but needs to refine his route running. That said, he's a capable playmaker who will be a nice fit as a slot receiver while handling return chores.
