Player Bio: Albert Okwuegbunam prepped at Sacred Heart-Griffin High School in Springfield, IL. He was a 6'5" 223-pound wide receiver. He was unstoppable in high school as he once quoted of saying that in the first four games as a senior, he went untackled. Okwuegbunam also starred as a basketball player at Sacred Heart-Griffin, which lured the coaches from the University of Missouri to watch him play. The spoke with him to coming in and putting on weight and playing tight end. Former quarterback Drew Lock was impressed on Okwuegbunam and became one of his favorite targets once he landed at Mizzou.​

GAME FILM
​#81 albert okwuegbunam vs memphis (2018)
​

Strengths: Okwuegbunam has a high full frame that screens defender away from challenging passes. Has great speed who will become a nightmare for linebackers and safeties. He has excellent leaping ability and can make the acrobatic catches. He displays a large catch radius and the ability to win most 50/50 balls. His soft hands pluck the ball out of the air with relative ease. He is a severe vertical threat who applies his body and obtain the ball. He can track the ball in the air and adjusts his body to the trajectory of the ball. Multi-dimensional and versatile as he can line up inside or outside as a receiver and in the backfield. A physical player with the ability to break tackles after initial contact. He is an average blocker that is capable of sealing outside blocking strategies.​

Weaknesses: He needs to get stronger as he lacks the ideal strength to be a drive blocker. His pad level is questionable as a blocker and cant dip his hips to get a good drive. He usually is overpowered and allows the run game to blow up. His large frame as a blocker does not reward in the run game as his blocks are at a deadlock. His approach at reading blocks is limited and seems to display uncomfortable blocking in space. As a route runner, he is limited with his route tree and will need to develop consistency in new routes.

Draft Grade: 6.00

Draft Projection: 2nd round
