| Austin Pettis WR Boise State | ||
 |
Ht: 6’3″
Wt: 209 |
 |
| Strengths: | ||
| Prototypical height. Good overall strength and has the frame to add more weight. A polished route runner. Does a great job selling fakes and shaking coverage despite his limited quickness and agility. | ||
| Weaknesses: | ||
| Limited athleticism. Lacks the speed to stretch the field. Not a threat to pick up yards after the catch. Leaping ability is average at best; doesn’t have the skills necessary to consistently go up in traffic and pluck the ball out of the air. | ||
| Comments: | ||
| Pettis reminds me of Brian Robiskie, which is both good and bad. Like Robiskie he lacks the elite athleticism that many receivers have at the next level. However, he’s a smart player who does a nice job running routes and should be able to carve out a role for himself in the NFL. If given time to develop he could become a solid possession receiver in the right system. | ||
