Marvin Harrison Height: 6’4″ Weight: 205 pounds Position: Wide Receiver School: Ohio State Current Year: Junior Profootball Network: There’s so much we already know about Harrison. He’s the son of an NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver of the same name and was a high four-star recruit before signing with the Buckeyes. In 2022, he was arguably the rightful Biletnikoff Award winner after piling up 1,263 yards and 14 touchdowns on 77 receptions. He’s on record with a 3.94 shuttle time, a 10’8″ broad jump, and potential high 4.3 speed, per Feldman’s Freaks. The pedigree is there. The production is there. And all who interact with Harrison wax lyrical about his natural talent, work ethic, and desire to be great. Diving into the tape, do the microscopic details match the surface-level findings that Harrison is a blue-chip prospect on his way to top-five capital and an astronomical NFL trajectory? Let’s find out. Marvin Harrison Jr. Scouting Report Strengths -Superlative athlete with a streamlined, aerodynamic frame and dominating length. -Incredibly explosive mover who can stack DBs and elongate space with fast strides. -Lashes at DBs with superb short-area energy and unnatural size-adjusted elasticity. -Has the hyperactive foot speed, twitch, and swivel freedom to offset and displace DBs. -Possesses hyper-elite body control, contortion ability, and flexibility at the catch point. -Incredibly instinctive feel for space, positioning, and timing on high-difficulty catches. -Proactively uses length, frame, and physicality to maintain leverage on 50/50 balls. -Hands effortlessly flow to the right spot and nullify contested threats with strong grip. -Operates like a pass rusher with targeted physicality, using rips, swipes, and chops. -Authoritatively compounds separation at stems with prying strength and precision. -Has an arsenal of split, diamond, and foot-fire releases, weaponized by agility and detail. -Expertly manipulates DBs with leans, head fakes, blind-spot awareness, and efficiency. -Has the speed and burst to press and sell upfield into stems, then snap and retract back. -Brings insane decelerative capacity, throttle control, bend, and flexibility at stems. -Brings great energy as a blocker and can channel power in space with length and burst. Weaknesses -Doesn’t quite play to his rumored 4.38 speed when given chances to break away. -Is often brought down on first contact as a RAC threat and doesn’t have high-end mass. -Hands occasionally spread too far apart on catch attempts, creating instability. -Height naturally causes him to play too tall heading into route stems on occasion. -Ball security after the catch can improve at times; can be prone to peanut punches. -As a blocker, can attain better synergy at times to maintain balance through contact.

Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Draft Profile and Measurements Height: 6’0″ Weight: 200 Position: Wide Receiver School: LSU Current Year: Junior Profootball Network: It will be fascinating to see if there are any discernable changes to Nabers’ frame from his sophomore to junior season. He was listed at 195 pounds on the roster in 2022, but college rosters are notoriously generous at times with measurements. Not that his weight necessarily matters, which we’ll discuss soon enough. Nabers floated between three- and four-star ratings as a high school recruit. On3 and 247Sports appeared to have the jump on Rivals and ESPN because he ranked inside the top 200 at both outlets. However, the low ratings could have been a result of his inability to play football during his senior year of high school. Nabers transferred schools and had his waiver denied. His athletic measurables in high school were good. He reportedly ran a 4.44 and jumped 38 inches. Nabers immediately left his mark as a freshman at LSU, recording 28 catches for 417 yards and four TDs as a true freshman. He played in 11 games and ended up starting for over half the season. He emerged as the no-doubt No.1 for the Tigers in 2022. His 1,017 yards was the 10th time in school history a WR eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark. His battle with Alabama CB Kool-Aid McKinstry was one of the best individual matchups of the season. Strengths -Hard-nosed receiver who plays more physically than his frame. -Natural separation quickness. -Uncanny contact balance relative to size. -Impressive lateral agility with rock in tote. -Strong vision as a runner. -Impressive body control and flexibility attacking the ball. -“Open” is a mindset, not proximity to an opponent for him. -Strong hands through contact. -Impressive long speed. Weaknesses -Still growing as a route runner. -Must better leverage defenders and attack blind spots. -Run blocking is optional. Interview:

Rome Odunze Height: 6’3″ Weight: 217 Position: Wide Receiver School: Washington Current Year: Junior Profootball Network: Leading the Huskies in receiving production was no easy task considering Odunze competed with Jalen McMillan. In his third season with the program, Odunze exploded for career highs across the board, totaling 75 receptions for 1,145 yards and seven touchdowns. Strengths -Displays a bulked-up powerful frame and a massive wingspan that gives him one of the biggest catch radius in the class. -Effectively uses his upper body to sell routes and create some separation, which is uncommon for receivers with as much size as he has. -Elite concentration and fast-twitch reaction ability on passes that require him to contort his body. -Plus body control allows him to make acrobatic catches that most would have no chance at completing. -Dominates at the catch point with his strength, size, and concentration. He’s a major threat on back-shoulder fades. -Capable of winning on double moves thanks to solid footwork and attention to detail. -Can box out cornerbacks on slants and other sharp-breaking routes. Weaknesses -He’s a bit of a workout warrior because his speed and explosiveness don’t translate to separation. -The bulk of his big plays were reliant on him finishing through contact or requiring masterful nuance on the sideline because he doesn’t have the burst of speed to rely on. -Will require an accurate and trusting quarterback that will target him regardless of the defender’s leverage. -Does not create much after the catch and often goes down at the catch point.

Keon Coleman ProFootball Network: The 2024 NFL Draft receiver class is stacked at the top, and Florida State Seminoles star Keon Coleman may be one of the more underrated early-round talents in the group. Looking at Coleman’s scouting report, how far can he rise in the 2024 NFL Draft cycle? Keon Coleman Draft Profile and Measurements Height: 6’4″ Weight: 215 pounds Position: Wide Receiver School: Florida State Current Year: Junior Coleman was a multi-sport athlete in high school who played six games under Basketball Hall of Fame head coach Tom Izzo at Michigan State in 2021. He’s always had talent that transcends individual sports, but football is Coleman’s specialty. A four-star recruit in the 2021 cycle, Coleman broke out as a leading target in Michigan State’s suspect passing offense in 2022. Despite volatility at quarterback and up front on the offensive line, Coleman thrived as a true sophomore in 2022. He racked up 58 catches, 798 yards, and seven touchdowns alongside 2023 second-round pick Jayden Reed. He leveraged that second-year production into a transfer opportunity at Florida State. On paper, the Seminoles have a dream team in 2023, and Coleman is quietly one of the most exciting pieces. Catching passes from Jordan Travis, he could reach his ceiling and breach the Round 1 conversation in the 2024 NFL Draft. Strengths -Lab-built athlete with excellent size, length, frame density, and compact mass. -He is an effortless accelerator with hyperactive foot speed and lateral twitch for his size. -Can use brisk one-cut agility to make solo defenders miss in space and surge upfield. -Uses efficient diamond releases to offset DBs and two-hand swipes to pry free. -Actively presses upfield off releases and can manipulate DB blind spots with efficiency. -Sudden snap back, retract his strides and swivel around after pressing into stems. -Carries acceleration through stems and tight transitions with bend and hip flexibility. -Molds together elite timing, coordination, body control, and strength at the catch point. -Is an awe-inspiring contortionist with a gravity-bending feel for positioning in midair. -Coleman makes high-difficulty adjustments look effortless and seeks out the ball past his frame. -Snares contested targets with his swathing reach and suffocating hand strength. -Maximizes instincts with sharp tracking ability, hands, and a proactive alpha mentality. -Uses arm bars and swipes to clear his frame ahead of contested catches. -Strong contact balance to absorb hits with his frame and recollect his feet soon after. -He is an elite run blocker with patience, leverage awareness, and unfurled tenacity at contact. Weaknesses -Explosiveness, while exceptional, isn’t always enough to completely stack boundary DBs. -Lacks the elite long speed to take the top off of the defense. -Sometimes can be a bit late to decouple from defenders and turn his head on deep routes. -Can be prone to occasional drops on low, high-difficulty catch attempts. -Doesn’t quite have elite hip flexibility and sinking capacity; hips can lock up. -Has to take extra steps to gather himself on 180-degree route transitions. -Sometimes will divert upright at stems, sapping at momentum and keying in DBs. -At times, plant-and-drive footwork on comeback routes can be more efficient. -Has immense promise with his route tree but can strive for more consistent technique. -Contact balance, while solid, is not elite and doesn’t always bail him out on short passes.

Emeka Egbuka Height: 6’1″ Weight: 205 pounds Position: Wide Receiver School: Ohio State Current Year: Junior Profootball Network Egbuka joined the Buckeyes in the same recruiting class as Harrison Jr. In fact, Egbuka was the higher-rated recruit coming out of high school. A five-star recruit out of Steilacoom, Washington, Egbuka drew comparisons to past early-round picks. And now that he’s eligible, it appears as though he’s following that same trajectory. Alongside Harrison in 2022, Egbuka racked up 74 catches for 1,151 yards and 10 touchdowns while also adding 87 yards and two scores on 11 carries. As both a RAC weapon and a surgical independent separator, Egbuka has extremely enticing potential, and it’s that potential that makes him a likely Round 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Strengths -Uniquely built WR with a lean, compact, yet long-limbed frame and solid density. -Explosive long-strider who can use urgent yet expansive strides to surge downfield. -Brings instant acceleration out of stems, which he can use to easily stack displaced DBs. -Has the flexibility to maintain stride lengths while bending and accelerating into space.- -With high-end change of direction, can freely swivel and stack lateral transitions. -Master zone navigator with anticipatory feel for spacing, hip sink, and throttle freedom. -Always intentional with head fakes, eyes, and pad level, and has a full route tree.- -Will use controlled leans to dictate DB angles upfield and exploit overaggression. -Combined burst, flexibility, deception, snap, and IQ yield elite separation potential. -Able to make high-difficulty adjustments in stride while extending beyond his frame. -Reacts extremely quickly when contorting and positioning his hands in tight spots. -Incredibly consistent hands-catcher with sturdy technique, sharp timing, and patience. -Versatile, instinctive run-after-catch weapon that can be schemed a variety of touches. -Able to absorb solo hits with contact balance and churn his legs through tackle attempts. -Can use swipes and arm-bars to scrape through contact over the middle of the field. Weaknesses -Very explosive but works better with room to open up his strides. -Long speed falls a tick short of the breakaway mark when attacking seams. -Occasionally lets the ball get into his frame when securing passes over the middle. -Plant-and-drive footwork can be more efficient on routes breaking back toward the ball. -Sometimes has wasted motion on his releases and can be more efficient with agility. -At times, can be more precise fighting through contact, experiencing delays in press. -Doesn’t quite have the sheer mass to bowl through sequential tacklers. -Sometimes overshoots blocking angles and fails to strike cleanly with hands. -Is more equipped to obstruct as a blocker than serve as a primary displacing force.

Adonai Mitchell NFL Draft Buzz Adonai Mitchell from Cane Ridge High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 3-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Mitchell opted to join Georgia. In 2021 as a freshman Mitchell saw action in 15 games for the Bulldogs as he made 29 receptions for 428 yards for an average of 14.8 yards per reception, with 4 TDs, and QB rating when targeted of 92.5. As a sophomore in 2022 he played 4 games and had only 5 catches for 69 yards for an average of 13.8 yards per catch, with one TD, and an elite QB rating when targeted of 142.3. Strengths: -Mitchell has strong hands and is extremely competitive, and Mitchell has an innate sense of timing when it comes to elevating and high-pointing balls. -He shows good initial quickness off the line of scrimmage, and he has enough strength to be able to consistently escape the jam at the next level. He’s a coordinated hands catcher who effectively tracks the ball downfield. -Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he's rarely caught from behind. -A fluid mover capable of creating some separation over the middle of the field, he has the long arms and soft hands to provide a sizable catch radius. -Mitchell also proved to be a force in catch-and-run situations. A violent runner who transitions upfield quickly after the catch, he has the speed to pick up chunks of yardage once he’s broken the first tackle. -His long arms allow him to play bigger than his size, and he has a frame that can carry a little more weight. -He’s also a violent runner with the ball in his hands. He’s very good working outside the numbers, showing excellent ball-tracking skills, and he does the little things well downfield, including leaving enough room on the sideline for his quarterback to -drop in a throw. Weaknesses: -Physically, Mitchell profiles as a guy who should have success facing the quarterback, but he struggles to gear down and make the necessary sharp cuts to create separation underneath. -Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest. -Doesn't have the size to consistently win on the outside, but can be productive working the middle of the field and as a return man.

Xavier Legette Height: 6’3″ Weight: 227 Position: Wide Receiver School: South Carolina Current Year: Senior (Fifth Year) Profootball Network: Legette is massive. He’s a throwback to a bygone era of big, physical “X” receivers that bullied their way down the field while bullying defensive backs at the top of routes, back when defenders were allowed to play physically. I suspect Legette must have been a “late bloomer.” His recruiting profile lists him at a hair over 200 pounds at 6’0″ tall. Sports Reference lists him at 6’1″, 217 pounds. Considering he practically looks like a tight end on the outside, it’s probably safe to say he kept growing as others had already finished. 247Sports was the only outlet to hand him a four-star rating as a recruit. ESPN and Rivals gave him three stars, and none of the big three gave him a national ranking. Like most who are the best athletes at their high school, Legette played quarterback as a senior. Strengths -Height/Weight/Speed anomaly -Outstanding catch radius -Impressive start/stop as a route runner -Good spring as a ball carrier -Punishing against tacklers -Physical run blocker (when he wants to be) -Good pacing and strong releases allow him to stack DBs vertically -Snappy reaction to finish catches thrown as he’s turning to the QB -Cross-field weapon -High-points well and shows sideline awareness -Attacks blind spots well -Return upside Weaknesses -One year of production -Explosion on releases doesn’t carry over to screen game -Although slow to take down, doesn’t break as many tackles as you’d like

Xavier Worthy Height: 6’1″ Weight: 172 pounds Position: Wide Receiver School: Texas Current Year: Junior Profootball Network: A former track athlete in high school, Worthy was an immediate star upon arriving on campus in Austin. He’s posted two straight years with at least 60 receptions, 760 yards, and nine touchdowns. Worthy enters the 2023 season with the third-most touchdowns in program history. Strengths: -Worthy has put on over 10 pounds since arriving on campus at 160 pounds. His frame might be able to handle more muscle. -Nuanced and efficient route runner who uses his upper body and head to sell routes. He’ll get corners to take a hard bite and be well past them by the time they look to recover. -He possesses excellent acceleration and uses those first few seconds to create separation to give his quarterback a quick passing window to target. -Worthy plays bigger than he is because of his competitive spirit at the catch point. He’s willing to bring the ball down at any cost. -He should be effective as a slot receiver who wins with his sharp-cutting moves and is an outside threat with speed. -Turns 21 draft weekend. Weaknesses -He must overcome being a thinner playmaker who will never be overly strong. -Top speed isn’t enough to run by defenders, and he often has to use a release move or head-fake during routes to create more space. -His leaping ability is average, so his competitive will goes only so far because his athleticism is not endless. -Has more of a complementary skill set than a featured star ability despite polish and good raw talent.

Devontez Walker Height: 6’2 1/2″ Weight: 200 pounds Position: Wide Receiver School: North Carolina Current Year: Redshirt Junior NFL Network: It’s been a long and winding path to the present for Walker, who originally began his collegiate career at NC Central. When NC Central’s 2020 season was canceled, he transferred to Kent State and quickly distinguished himself as a big-play threat. In 2022, Walker emerged with the Golden Flashes, accruing 58 catches for 921 yards and 11 touchdowns — a season that included a seven-catch, 106-yard outing against a Georgia defense flush with NFL talent. Walker’s 2022 campaign earned him transfer looks from Power Five schools, and he ended up transferring to North Carolina. The Tar Heels provided Walker with an opportunity to improve his 2024 NFL Draft stock, but he’d also be closer to his family and his ailing grandmother. Heading into the year, Walker was at first denied eligibility by the NCAA, who ruled him a two-time transfer and denied his waiver, despite the fact that he never played a snap for NC Central. Luckily, Walker’s eligibility was eventually restored after resistance from the UNC program and the college football world. He’s now picked up where he left off — with 35 catches for 600 yards and six touchdowns in six games with Maye at the helm. Strengths -Explosive long-strider who can quickly accelerate and find space up the seam. -Stack specialist with elite long speed and separation generation in the deep third. -Sports a tall and lean frame with underrated density and excellent length. -Has the zone awareness to sneak behind second-level defenders and exploit windows. -Has the ankle flexion to support curvilinear acceleration through DB blind spots. -Flashes efficient plant-and-drive footwork and swivel freedom on back-shoulder plays. -Showcases stellar ball-tracking ability in the deep third and flows underneath passes. -Patient when adjusting and attacking the football downfield, limiting CB reaction time. -Can make high-difficulty adjustments with little space while keeping sideline awareness. -Has shown to secure tough catches amidst contact over the middle. -Effectively gathers the ball away from his frame with diamond technique on RAC plays. -Is quick to stabilize the ball against his frame after making contact with hands. -Has flashed the ability to use targeted physicality in tandem with release footwork. -Has enough play strength to pry through solo arm tackles and keep his speed in space. -Speed and wiry strength can be weaponized by sweeps, motions, and versatile usage. Weaknesses -At times, can be a bit more deliberate pressing upfield into stems before cutting back. -Can be more intentional with head fakes and eye manipulation at the top of stems. -Doesn’t have elite sink on in-breaking routes and plays too tall into stems at times. -Can be inconsistent selling DBs on short hitches and sometimes drifts on short routes. -Struggles to channel his explosiveness on routes when he’s not able to attack vertically. -Doesn’t always throttle up effectively out of intermediate breaks, limiting separation. -Is generally inconsistent using throttle control to displace DBs while working upfield. -Route tempo is very inconsistent in the short and intermediate ranges. -Lacks high-end stopping ability and often takes extra steps to decelerate on comebacks. -Has room to further expand his route tree past vertical routes, crossers, and slants. -Tends to let the ball into his torso over the middle of the field, which can source drops. -Sometimes struggles to work through physicality at stems and can be prone to delays. -Can improve at adapting and finding openings for QBs on the scramble drill. -Below-average run blocker who plays too tall and lacks great angle discipline. -Occasionally prone to focus drops and clap-catches when working past his frame.
