Scouting Profile: Nelson Agholor, WR, USC

[Dustin]

Thinkins this might be my last WR. 

 

Gif machine aint working again, so I'll just give the timestamps for the example.

 

Previous Installments: 

 

The RBs - Hub Post

Jaelen Strong, WR, ASU

Devin Smith, WR, Ohio State

Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn

Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Missouri/Oklahoma

Devin Funchess, WR, Michigan

Rashad Greene, WR, FSU 

Tyler Lockett, WR, Kansas State 

 

 

vs Colorado, vs Cal

 

The Good: 

 

Lean, athletic frame like his predecessors (Robert Woods and Marqis Lee) 

 

Does a good job tracking the ball over his shoulder.

 

Potential as a dangerous punt returner. 

 

Lines up all over the field. Even lines up in the backfield on some occasions. 

 

Picks up speed as he goes. Possess a great 2nd gear. 

 

Yards after catch ability. Posses good vision after the catch. Turns up field quickly after securing the ball. 

 

Good, savvy route-runner. Able to create seperation 1-on-1. Nice little double-move. 

  ex. 2:08 vs Colorado

  ex. 5:04 vs Colorado

 

Doesn't drop many passes. 

 

The Bad: 

 

Terrible run blocker.

 

Not very physical. Gets beat at the line of scrimmage by strong, long Dbs. 

 

Quick, not fast. Not going to take the top off of the defense in the NFL. Not going to be a homerun hitter. 

 

Pure slot receiver in the NFL.

 

Conclusion: 

 

DB only has 2 games on Agholor, and I wish they had more. I can't really get a good feel for him, but based off of what little I saw, I think Agholor is an average slot receiver at the next level. I don't really see anything that sticks out, and he looks almost exactly like Robert Woods and Maqis Lee. He's a decent athlete who is good at alot of things, but not great at anything.

 

Projected Round: 3rd

NFL Comp: Marqis Lee

 

Like I said, I think i'm done with WRs. I'll probably do ILBers next.
