#4 CEDRIC TILLMAN
​CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
​TENNESSEE VOLS 

• He has a nice frame and size for an NFL wide receiver playing on the outside.
  
• He revealed all the mechanics for running routes for the limited route tree ran in college.
  
• He excels in curls, digs, and post routes, selling them as deep vertical routes and sinking his hips to get separation.
  
• He is a fearless receiver who will make tough catches in traffic; he will use his frame to shield and absorb contact.
  
• He will locate the ball and highpoint it at the apex of the throw with his reliable and strong hands.
  
• He provides a broad and safe catch radius for his quarterback to throw to the window.
  
• He blocks well with a mean streak and uses his solid frame and strength to move whatever he wants.
  

• The receivers at Tennessee all were susceptible to a limited route tree.
• Most of his playing time running routes was on the same side of the formation, running the same routes, dig, post, slants, and curls.
• Therefore he never was complimented by running the entire route tree that allowed us to scout him further his capabilities.
• Exclusively used as an outside receiver, we could not generate in observance how he operated as a slot receiver.
• He faced occasional unconcentrated drops, trying to run before the catch taking his eye off the ball while attempting to locate the defender.

Draft Projection: 3rd - 4th Round
