#11 JOSH PEARSON VE TENNESSEE TECH (2019)

 #11 josh pearson junior highlights

Strengths: He is a  prominent and physical receiver that is a prototypical fit in the NFL. He raised his stock significantly with an excellent pro day work out in front of 12 NFL scouts. At his pro day, reportedly, he did not drop, not one pass, which displays his secure and reliable hands. He is a legitimate target that uses his body well to shield against the defender, especially in the red zone target area with a plus catch radius. He has tremendous ball skills where he shows his leaping ability to grab the ball at its highest point. He has a definite vertical threat and has that significant playability. Against the smaller defenders, he can separate well off the line of scrimmage.

Weaknesses: His level of competition will be a bit of concern going into the draft. He may struggle against phyical press coverage defensive backs. Will need to polish he route tree and recognize the coverages. He potentially can stuggle against man-zone-coverages at the next level despite speed and physicality. He will become a special-team player fighting for depth and a roster spot.​

Draft Grade: 5.99

Draft Projection: 6th - 7th round

NFL Comparison: Keenan Allen
