| Kendall Wright Scouting Report |
| Kendall Wright - Baylor (HT: 5-10¼ - WT: 188) |
Positives -- Game breaking speed, in the same mold as Eagles WR Desean Jackson... Gets to full speed almost instantaneously... Great runner after the catch, has elite speed and lateral quickness to get away from would-be tacklers... Has an uncanny ability to get behind the defense, makes a lot of
plays down the field... Has the ability to turn the ten yard cross into a 50 yard touchdown, explosive play maker... Good body control, adjusts well to the ball when it's in the air and plays the boundaries well... Great leaping ability, can go up and high point the ball... Works the middle of the field extremely well, makes him a dangerous weapon out of the slot position... Has good hands, doesn't drop many balls... Can lineup outside or in the slot, and has experience taking handoffs... Completely blew up his senior year, had 108 catches for 1,663 yards and 14 touchdowns which were by far career highs... Had catches of 40 or more yards in six games as a senior... Can return punts.
Negatives -- Undersized receiver who lacks bulk, struggles as a run blocker... Benefitted by having one of the best quarterbacks in the country throwing to him, in a spread offense, so his numbers may be inflated a bit... Ran poorly at the combine and his stock will likely drop as a result, but he does appear faster than his timed speed on tape... Receivers his size usually fall out of the first round... A bit raw as a route runner, has the quickness and lateral agility to be a great route runner, but isn't there yet... Didn't deal much with press coverage in the Big 12, could be an issue when transitioning to the NFL, his small frame will make it easier for corners to jam him off his route.
