Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 77.37 (Chance to start)

Pro Comparison: Terrace Marshall Jr.

Accolades:

  • 2022: Coaches All-SEC second team
  • 2022 (vs. Vanderbilt): School record 247 receiving yards (highest single-game receiving total in FBS)

Summary:

Jonathan Mingo is a super-stocky, chiseled, explosive outside WR with a nice blend of YAC/screen game flashes and route-running/downfield wins. He was featured underneath on high-percentage, schemed-up throws yet flashed the ability to win with sudden, sharp-breaking routes. He has great but not elite speed. His contact balance and subtle juking ability are there, although not unbelievable in those areas. Given his size/frame, he should be better bouncing off tackles with the ball in his hands. He can beat press with quickness and hands. He's not a traffic-catch type and had some drops on film. If utilized correclty -- blend of YAC throws and occasionally down the field -- he can be a sneaky-good add to a team as an eventual quality WR2.

Strengths:

  • Big, long, explosive and twitchy
  • Understands how to efficiently get North-South when there's space to maximize yardage opportunity
  • Some downfield wins on film

Weaknesses:

  • Should have better contact balance at his size, downed on first contact more than expected
  • Not a traffic-catch specialist
  • Much of his production was schemed up underneath in college

Combine Results:

  • 40-Yard Dash: 4.46 seconds
  • Vertical: 39.5 inches
  • Broad Jump: 10 feet, 9 inches
