| Marvin McNutt Scouting Report |
| Marvin McNutt - Iowa (HT: 6-2½ - WT: 216) |
Positives -- Tremendous production at Iowa, led the Big Ten in receiving in 2011 with 1,315 yards and had 12 touchdowns... Stepped up in big games, some of his best outings this year were against Pittsburgh, Michigan, and Michigan State... Has a great frame, big player with a strong build, looks like
an NFL receiver... Does a great job of tracking the deep ball... Good vertical receiver who can go up and get the football over corners... A hands catcher, reliable and doesn't drop many balls... Fights through press coverage, uses his hands well... Does a good job of running through arm tackles after he makes the catch, he's a load to bring down... Very physical, uses his body to his advantage... Good boundary receiver with awareness of where he is on the field... Adjusts well to poorly thrown balls... Has a huge catch radius as he's a tall athlete with long arms... Good footwork in his route running, cuts well and is able to separate in man coverage... Former high school quarterback who understands coverages.
Negatives -- Has a tendency to carry the ball away from his body after the catch... Lacks initial burst, is more of a build up speed type of player without great quickness... Lacks explosion and is more of a straight-line runner... Doesn't have great speed, lacks a second gear and may have trouble separating deep from NFL level corners... While good, he's not an elite athlete and his upside is somewhat limited, more of a possession receiver at the next level... Missed spring practice last year due to a shoulder injury.
