What intrigues me about Fountain is that in a lot of his game film, when he was running go routes it looked like he was not getting a ton of separation from defenders, but more often than not he would come down with the ball which I attribute to his outstanding athleticism. He high points the ball well and times his jumps with precision. Great hands too.

The main thing that caught my attention however, was how good he was with scramble rules. Whenever the NIU quarterback had to scramble or escape the pocket, Fountain would seamlessly adjust his route, find open space, and track the ball buying his quarterback time and making big plays off of his ability to read the situation. This made me salivate thinking what he could do with Mahomes and his improvisational abilities...

With the combine numbers he put up he might have boosted his stock to be a fourth or fifth round pick when many had him pegged as a seventh rounder or even undrafted free agent.
