| Michael Floyd Scouting Report |
| Michael Floyd - Notre Dame (HT: 6-2⅜ - WT: 220) |
Positives -- Has a good mix of size and build up speed... A legit deep threat who can get behind the secondary... Good initial burst off the line of scrimmage... Gets into his routes quickly... Solid runner in the open field, strong and can shed tacklers and also has some wiggle to him... Put up big
numbers as a senior with 100 catches for 1,147 yards and nine touchdowns... Willing to make catches in the middle of the field... Catches the ball at its highest point... Good red zone target, big frame and can out jump smaller defenders in the end zone... Has knowledge of how pro-style offenses work after playing for Charlie Weis his first two seasons... Regarded higher than former teammate Golden Tate who was a 2010 second round pick... Graduated from famed Cretin-Derham Hall in St. Paul, Minn. which has put out multiple sports stars (Joe Mauer, Paul Moliter, Matt Birk, Chris Weinke).
Negatives -- Has had some fumbling issues in the past, carries the ball too far away from his body after he catches it... Not very explosive, is more of a slow-twitch athlete... May carry too much weight for his frame, lacks some flexibility and big play ability... Will be more of a possession receiver at the next level, had only three receptions over the past two years that went for over 35 yards... Had some leg issues during his freshman season... Missed time in 2009 due to a broken collarbone... In March, 2011, was charged with drunken driving after failing three field sobriety tests and a breathalyzer test indicated he had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal driving limit... It was his third alcohol related offense since 2009 and second in 14 months.
