Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 76.57 (Chance to start)

Pro Comparison: Calvin Austin III

Accolades:

  • 2020: Second-team All-AAC
  • Career: Fifth in school history in kickoff return average (24.93) and third in kickoff return yards (1,670)

Summary:

What Tre Tucker lacks in size, he makes up for in playmaking ability. He had a strong Senior Bowl week -- no one could cover him -- and NFL teams will have to decide how high to draft a small receiver with return ability who has home-run potential every time he touches the ball.

Strengths:

  • Undersized-but-electric WR who offers return ability
  • Short-area quickness shines; gets in and out of breaks
  • Tough -- can run through arm tackles even though slight frame
  • Runs low to the ground; can be used in quick game and treats everything like punt-return right or punt-return left
  • Eats up cushion from the slot vs. off defenders. Hits top end in 2-3 steps and will win every time vs. LB type on vertical routes
  • Despite small catch radius, can make acrobatic catches away from body; shows good hands

Weaknesses:

  • Undersized: listed at 5-8, 187 at the Senior Bowl
  • Won't offer much as a blocker, even on the outside
  • Contested catches are a problem because of size

Combine Results:

  • 40-Yard Dash: 4.4 seconds
  • Vertical: 37.5 inches
  • Broad Jump: 10 feet, 4 inches
