#2 laviska shenault vs nebraska (2019)

#2 laviska shenault Career highlights

Strengths: He is an elite athlete that is a dynamic playmaker who makes plays. He is a versatile player who was productive as a receiver, running back, wildcat quarterback and return specialist who has excellent strong hands that pluck the ball out the air and excellent ball security. He has a tremendous burst of speed and is powerful when initiation contact against the defender and run through arm tackles. Very explosive in the open the field who weaves and his way through traffic with excellent body control. He is a definite vertical threat who will take the top off of the defense in a hurry. He can take a short reception and take it the distance. He tracks the ball well down the field or to the outside perimeter. ​
​
Weaknesses: He never played one true position and is in the draft listed as wide receiver. This could play against him of the fact he never defined himself as a polish route runner. His routes tree were limeted to the slant, quick outs, and nine route, so it will challenge the scouts of truly of a good receiver he can be at the next level. Red flag on injuries has derailed some of his stock, even after suffering a core muscle injury at the 2020 NFL Combine that required surgery days later.​
 
Draft Grade: 6.50

Draft Projection: Late 1st round - 2nd

NFL Comparison: Deebo Samuel
