The Coaching Intel

“He’s big and physical and has really strong hands. And he can move like a guy 30 pounds lighter.”

“He’s pretty. You see him in warmups and you’re like, ‘I can see why he was at Georgia.’ He makes things look too easy.”

“He adjusts to the ball better than a lot of top-notch receivers. Great red zone weapon. Ridiculous ability to separate. The downside: Consistency. He doesn’t always run routes at full speed. He will float through routes at times.”

Xavier Worthy

Spoiler!

The Coaching Intel

“Electric. I think he’s a really good receiver. He reminds me of DeSean Jackson. He can go the distance every time he touches it. I don’t think he’s not physical. I’ll say this: He isn’t little. He’s long. He’s just skinny.”

“He’s so fast, you couldn’t blink when he’s out there.”

Amarius Mims

Spoiler!

The Coaching Intel

“Freak athletically, but still pretty raw. Not a road grader. More of a dancing bear.”

“He’s like a freak of nature. Massive but very athletic. Has good feet but he’s so high-cut, he struggles with guys that can bend because he’s a little stiff-hipped.”

Tyler Guyton

Spoiler!

The Coaching Intel

“He still needs to get stronger and he tends to play too high, but he can do some things out there that are pretty special, given how big he is. He is so smooth and he isn’t on the ground much.”

“I don’t think their system helped him because they played so fast in that offense, I think it’s hard to be consistent for those big guys because they’re sprinting to the ball all the time. They look s—- sometimes because they’re gassed. I think he’ll be a much better pro than college player.”

Johnny Newton

Spoiler!

The Coaching Intel

“He is crafty and slick with some good moves and heavy hands. He’s just got a great feel for things in there. This guy is a stud.”

“Great block-destruction guy. Really friggin’ twitchy.”

Ladd McConkey (pick 54. On here bc Browns took him and they don’t have a 1st)

Spoiler!

The Coaching Intel

“I think he had really good top-end (speed) and short area quickness. He’s an excellent route runner. I thought he was way better than people gave him credit for. I’m not surprised to hear he tested so well at the combine.”

“He’s more of a pure slot, but damn, he is fast and sudden. In a different offense, or if (Georgia) didn’t have Bowers, he probably would’ve put up big numbers.”

Kool Aid McKinstry

Spoiler!

The Coaching Intel

“He had some struggles early in (2023) but is a good player. He’s a pretty fluid DB, but I questioned his speed. He’s not that twitchy.”

“Really smart and savvy. Not as quick out of his break as Arnold. He uses his hands to make up for his feet. Will jump routes.”

Rest of the guys from OP weren’t on this mock. They’re 2nd rd picks

What does he say about these two?

Kingsley Suamataia, BYU
Jordan Morgan, Arizona
