#6 AARON PARKER VS OHIO (2019)

Strengths: Great size and very physical as a receiver is considerably one of his best traits for an NFL receiver. He has a big body frame and reliable hands. Fairly good route runner, all routes are run with the same motion. He has an excellent ability to create separation and will get open. High-point his catches with high concentration, even in tight coverages. The catch radius is unbelievable and will win most 50/50 balls. A great leaper and will climb the ladder to get the ball. Have the ability to make defenders miss with good footwork. An over-averaged run blocker who can contain a defender long enough for second-level run plays. 

Weaknesses: Tends to use too many moves off the line of scrimmage that prevents the quarterback from getting solid reads of his route. Allows his torso wide-open allowing physical defensive back to pin his release of the line scrimmage. Not very fluid coming out of his routes needs some work coming out the routes. Learning new set up moves will allow better breakage out those routes. Needs to work on a better way of getting separation at the next level. Despite high concentration, he tends to shorten routes depending on his athletic ability, or alligator arm catches.
