| Ladarius Green Scouting Report |
| Ladarius Green - Louisiana-Lafayette (HT: 6-5¾ - WT: 238) |
Positives -- His blend of size and speed are quickly becoming all of the rage in the NFL... Put up good numbers against superior competition including four catches for 87 yards and a touchdown against Georgia and six receptions for 64 yards against LSU... Good at getting free off the line of scrimmage, uses
his hands well to shed the bump and run... Can run underneath routes or spread the field by running vertical routes; either way is a nearly impossible matchup... Extremely strong hands, extends his arms very well for the high passes but still maintains the athleticism to get down and low for passes at his feet... Uses his body to perfection in shielding off defenders and making catches in traffic, might be the best part of his game... Very tough to catch from behind due to his combination of speed and long strides, a big time playmaking threat from the tight end position... Can seal the edge when blocking due to his size and athleticism... Solid work ethic, pushes himself and his teammates to get better every single day... Oozes of potential, a good coach can make him one of the premier tight ends in the game.
Negatives -- Suffered a neck injury in 2009 that caused him to miss three games, also missed two games in 2010 with a sprained ankle... Blocking is a work in progress, shows the effort but isn't seeing the results on the field, can get overpowered by bigger guys and quicker guys just make him miss... Has lacks of concentration when catching the ball, tends to start running upfield before securing the ball... Built more like a bigger wide receiver, question whether or not he can last an entire season playing on the line and being physical... Lack of competition may mean he needs some extra time to develop and get used to the speed of the NFL.
