Leonte Carroo Scouting Report

Leonte Carroo WR Rutgers #4

Size/Athleticism: 6’0″, 217. Average blend of size and speed. Definitely does not stand out as an elite athlete. Physically very average across the board.

Separation Skills: Very average speed and acceleration. Does not easily lose man coverage and is not great at competing for the ball. Needs separation to make plays, but may not be able to consistently create that separate at the next level. Routes are adequate, but he’ll need to show more nuanced moves in the stem of his route to fool quality NFL cornerbacks. Probably will be at his best in the slot, where he can make plays on quick-strike passes.

Ball Skills: Needs be more assertive going for the ball. Lets the ball come to him far too often, even in jump ball situations. Very reliable hands when he’s uncontested, but definitely need to become more consistent battling for the ball.

Blocking: Gives a decent effort. Not a strength but not a liability.

Intangibles: Arrested for domestic violence charges in Sept. 2015 and suspended two games. Suspended for one half of another game for violation of team rules.Team captain.

Durability: Suffered high-ankle sprain during senior year.

Overview: It’s tough to get behind a guy who was suspended twice, but it’s even worse when he’s a team captain. His team was relying on him and he failed them. Carroo was extremely productive in college due to a high usage rate, but he’s a very average talent. Without elite size or speed it’s tough to see where he’ll be able to win consistently at the next level. He has the tools of a slot receiver and could carve out a career for himself there, but the upside is limited.
