6'2" for a speedy WR like him. Smooth footwork and can cut on a dime. Suffers from poor QB play and probably gets a bad rap from previous USC WRs. Decent hands. High motor, does well finding blocking assignments not the strongest WR in the world but understands blocking angles.

Bad QB play?I thought Sam Darnold was looking pretty good?

Against U of A, misses a lot of throws to him including the one that put Juju out of the game.
I wouldn't really call him speedy. His speed is a big question mark at the next level. I do love his YAC ability though. He has a mean stiffarm.

I would love to grab him in the 2nd with Mitch in the first
I know it's not fair to him but I just can't put any stock into WRs coming out of SC anymore. They haven't planned out at the next level it seems the past decade.
Terrified of USC prospects.

Chilo rachal

Ronald Johnson

Marcus Martin

Marquise Lee is playing better and Robert Woods is productive when healthy. I think Schuster is a very different type of WR compared to the last few years of USC receivers.

Ronald Johnson looked amazing until his injury too. I agree with this above but the film doesn't lie, Juju can produce if given the chance. I didn't like Agholor on film to begin with also.

I was at this game and Ronald Johnson lost the game for USC:
Darnold was actually one of the top QBs in the country towards the end of the season.

But this guy reminds me of Treadwell and Strong. 6'2 receivers with average (possibly below average) speed, big bodies, and good hands. These guys are usually able to out-man college CBs but NFL CBs are way stronger and they are never able to get any seperation

Darnolds the 2nd best QB in the LA area. Josh Rosen 1 Darnold 2 Goff 3

idk man. Darnold gets a pass because he's a freshman but he's mainly hitting hitches and screens on the 3 tapes that I saw. The OC is really safe with him and rightfully so since he's so young. I really liked what he was becoming in the UW game but this is still a developmental year for him.

Juju is quicker and runs better routes than Treadwell and Strong. Both were mainly jumpball guys. I think Juju weaker than both of them too but gets separation due to his agility. Juju doesn't need many steps to stop and change directions.
