A real playmaker at wideout: very athletic, shows excellent body control, and brings a rare mix of speed and overall size as a receiver.
Flaws:
Not very sure-handed. Isn't polished as a route-runner and not as physical as he could be at the line of scrimmage. Can be a bit of a 'me-first' type whose behavior (on-field and off-) can jeopardize his great play.
Career Potential:
Eventual No. 1 wideout with star tools.

Browns have plans for Greg Little | 04/13/2013 9:50 PM
News
The Browns believe Greg Little can "make an impact" in coach Rob Chudzinski's vertical offense.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Impact
Little finally showed some improvement last season and is expected to be a "significant part" of the new regime. After struggling with drops in the first half, he topped 40 yards in six of the Browns' final eight games. With Josh Gordon locked-in as Brandon Weeden's top target, Little is likely to retain the No. 2 role. He finished 2012 with 53 receptions, 647 yards, and four touchdowns
Browns staff impressed by Greg Little | 03/04/2013 12:18 AM
News
The new Browns' coaching staff has been "very impressed" by Greg Little's improvement as the 2012 season progressed.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Impact
He reportedly "seems to be a significant part" of the new regime's plan. Little had six drops and only 11 catches in the first five games, before catching 42 balls with just three drops over the final 11. We've yet to see many glimpses of Little's supposedly explosive run-after-catch ability, but he's definitely getting better and will be just 24 in May. He's on the WR3 radar for 2013.
Greg Little bound for the slot? | 02/11/2013 10:21 AM
News
ESPN Cleveland believes Greg Little could be moved to the slot if the Browns sign a veteran receiver in free agency.
ESPN Cleveland
Impact
Little spent time in the slot as a rookie and in last year's camp, so it wouldn't be a blind transition. Billed as an after-the-catch threat coming out of college, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound Little theoretically makes sense as a rugged slot man, but has hardly been a YAC dynamo through his first two years in the league. Regardless of whether he's on the outside or in the slot, Little should be a big part of the Browns offense in 2013 after coming on late last season.
