Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 90.3 (All-Pro)

Pro Comparison: Tee Higgins with better YAC skills

Strengths:

Tall above-the-rim player with deceptive separation skills who's a menace after the catch. Doesn't have frame that would indicate he'd star after the catch, but he plays with high-end power and contact balance. Refuses to go down to the turf on first contact. Insane body control and sideline awareness. Makes catches well outside his frame with ease. Still a vertical threat because of his size, leaping ability and ball skills. Ready to be a WR1 in the NFL, and will get even better with more weight and power in his upper half.

Weaknesses:

Had occasional concentration drops in 2021. Not a dazzling separator but don't confuse his height with an inability to create space. Downfield speed may be an issue; doesn't look overly fast on film against Pac-12 cornerbacks.

Accolades:

  • 2021: Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year
  • 2021: Led Pac-12 in rec (88) and rec yards (1,084) in eight games
