​#17 Racey McMath vs Miss st (2020)

#17 Racey McMath highlights (2019)

Strengths: He is a big body, versatile, and physical receiver that gives an offense a vertical threat on the outside and will pluck the ball out of the air. He has a long smooth stride that attacks the defender's cushion early in zone coverages. He is more of a straight-line runner, with his physical strength will beat more press-coverages off the line. He has excellent body control and can track the ball well down the field. He has a tremendous catch radius that provides a huge window for the quarterback to throw. A tremendous leaper that allows him to tower over shorter defensive backs and win most 50/50 balls. His physical frame will allow him to become a red-zone threat at the next level. His speed and versatility allowed him to be an excellent special team player while at LSU. Hidden behind a core of former and potential NFL receivers, McMath excelled on special-teams at a gunner that sticks out on tape.​​
​
Weaknesses: He has limited playing time while at LSU because of a tremendous depth at the wide receiver position. His limited playing time before his senior year and hampered by an injured hamstring ended his senior year. He contributed and excelled on special teams to earn some playing time. He needs to work on his routes, definitely not a technician, as he needs to get in and out of his breaks and cuts. One of the biggest concerns is his catching ability; he tends to use his body and not his hands limiting second chances at the tip or pass deflections. He does not wow after the catch; little jerking after the catch limits his run after the catch. As a big physical receiver, he will require to polish up his blocking skills for the next level. McMath probably benefited by taken advantage of the extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA because of the pandemic and returned to school to raise his draft stock.

Draft Projection: 4th - 7th Round
