GAME FILM
#5 JAHAN DOTSON VS OHIO ST (2021) 

#5 JAHAN DOTSON GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Strengths

• He is a dangerous, fearless, and dynamic playmaker equipped with excellent speed and shiftiness.
• His impressive ESPN's Play of the Day highlighted-reel catches never seems to amaze.
• He is small in stature but plays big with the ability to score with any catch on the field.
• He is a fearless competitor who will go across the middle for the tough catches in traffic.
• He runs dynamic pass-routes to get open and consistently creates sudden separation from the defender.
• He can separate the defense roof in a hurry and threaten it vertically.
• He has excellent soft hands that he rips the ball out of the air and rarely allows it to touch his body.
• He has a wide-catch radius for the quarterback and an excellent ability to track the ball down the field.
• He will challenge to win most 50-50 balls thrown in his direction with his excellent leaping ability.
  

Weaknesses

• He is a bit undersized receiver with a small frame, and can his body sustain the hard hits at the next level.
• The slot receiver position may be his actual position at the next level
• Taller and stronger defensive backs at the next level may cause him to struggle off the line in press coverages.
• He does not break tackles and will be downed by arm tackles.
• He will not fight for extra yardage in the middle of the field; he typically will go down at the catch-point.

Draft Projection: 1st (late) - 2nd Round
