Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 53.77 (Roster depth)

Pro Comparison: Dontario Drummond

Summary:

Malik Heath is an average athlete who excels vs. zone defenses, especially in the middle of the field. Tough with YAC ability -- more slippery in space than elusive -- Heath doesn't offer return ability, which means his best path to an NFL roster spot could come on coverage teams.

Strengths:

  • Not particularly twitchy but has straightline YAC ability; more slippery than elusive
  • Excels vs. zone; finds holes in middle of field consistently
  • Willing to go up for tough catches

Weaknesses:

  • Willing but needs work as blocker in space
  • Can get knocked off route at stem; needs to be a little more physical at top
  • Will struggle to stack DB types on vertical routes
