GAME FILM 
​#8 Justyn Ross VS ALABAMA (2019)

#8 Justyn ross highlights

Strengths

• He is a receiver who has a scarce blend of size, speed, and good length for the NFL.
• He has a long frame to accommodate his height to offer a colossal catch radius.
• He has exceptional leaping ability to challenge and win most 50/50 balls.
• His height presents a nightmare and a size mismatch and offers physicality with the cornerbacks.
• He has excellent strong hands that rips the ball out of the air. 
• He demonstrates late separation down the field and uses his body to shield the defender away from the ball.
  
• He is a definite dynamic playmaker who is tremendously scary after the catch.
• He has shown that he made the most of difficult catches and presented career acrobatic catches to his highlight reel.
  

Weaknesses

• He had a major significant injury (spinal and neck) in 2018 that threatened his football career.
• Durability will be of concern due to the injury he suffered from his neck and spinal and a stress fracture in his foot.
• He returned playing with 75% of the skill level he had his first year.
• His injury demonstrated that he lacked speed, explosiveness, leaping ability, and concentration.
• He will develop better moves off the line of scrimmage from press coverages tend to use repetitive stutter steps for separation.
• He needs to enhance his routes without rounding his cuts in the passing tree.
• He cannot block and needs to develop blocking skills.

Draft Projection:  3rd - 5th Round
