                            NFL Comparison: Evan Ingram                       Rating 92

Fast fluid athlete was a productive weapon in the Ducks passing game during his abbreviated three-year career. Excellent hands and receiving radius with the body control to be very difficult to defend. Lines up in the slot, flex, out wide, inline and from the H-FB back positions to create mismatches especially in the red zone. Outstanding route runner with precise cutting skills to create separation. Shows top burst of speed to get into the deep seam and a become a very difficult matchup. Two-year starter with a very high LOD as a receiver and will command a special piece in a pro-offense. Scored 8 of his 11 career TDs in 2025 when he lined up at a few positions. Willing blocker uses his quickness and length to grade out adequately. As a blocker, he is better on the move than inline. Ideal for the NFL game of today and an early impact weapon. Piece to create major mismatches on the play clock and give his QB intriguing options vs backers and safeties. Fastest prospect at this position with impact ability in a few roles. Easy mover in formations and gives his QB favorable single matches. Developed quickly in the Ducks quick passing game. At the NFL Combine, he checked in 6’3” 241 lbs., with 10” hands and 31 1/2” arms. Ran a blazing 4.39 time with a 1.54 ten-yard split. Did amazing leaping drills with a 43.5” VL and an 11’ BJ. Big receiver with wideout speed and natural receiving skills. Late 1st day selection and top 20-30 pick. Type to open an offense up and spread a secondary out, creating multiple single matchups in coverage. Though mainly a one-dimensional player, he has impact talent for a passing game and is ready to hit the ground running in a pro passing game. Impact ability to follow in the new wave of move tight ends who have provided playmaking ability in NFL passing attacks. Refined skill set with elite speed makes him a unique addition to an offense. Fine weapon to make a key difference.
