Now I'm not sitting here saying he is going to come in and make the team, but I feel he has at the very least a great shot at PS. He can run crisp routes, he can find open holes in zones, he can go deep, and he can adjust really well while the ball is in the air. What is made him drop was A) his inabilty to catch the easy passes. As I said he can catch the incredibly hard catches, but he too often would look up field on the easy ones and flat out drop them. As a Ute fan this was at times infuriating because he has so much potential, but failed at the easiest part of his job. IMO this is something that can be fixed though. B) He suffered a mid season ending knee injury. I know we have enough injury players, but he is back at full speed now so this shouldn't be an issue.
Ohhh and keep in mind another reason he may have slipped is having the worst QB in the Pac 12 statistic wise. Utah's QB's have been a turn style of inconsistency and awful play. I'm curious to see what he can display with even a half decent QB.
Here are some quotes online and his highlights. Again, I'm not saying he's the GOAT but I do think he has a good shot at being one the 5th or 6th(if we keep 6) receiver.
TFY Draft Insider's Tony Pauline reports that there's a perception Utah WR Dres Anderson "will be under-drafted and had second-round potential had he been able to finish the year."
If Utah senior WR Dres Anderson can run an impressive forty time at his pro day, he "might be able to creep back into that top-100 picture," according to CBS Sports' Dane Brugler.
STRENGTHS Good definition through upper body. Long legs that eat up space downfield. Good enough with downfield route-running. Possesses eye-catching second gear to separate in space. Plays bigger than listed size. Aggressive, effective run blocker. Doesn't fear the middle of the field. Adjusts well to low throws. Creates additional space with smart hand usage at top of routes. Can throttle down and get feet down near sideline. High-pointer with necessary body control. Will adjust routes to benefit quarterback. Has feel to negotiate traffic after the catch. NFL bloodlines. Father "Flipper" Anderson played for 10 years as an NFL WR.
