Grading the '15 NFL Draft WR Class by Position

Recommended Posts

I think White can play at either outside positions tbh.

 

What traits you think makes him a valuable X?

He consistently wins 1 on 1.

 

He excels at using his hands, and shoulders, short-area burst, and strength to help get a lot of separation between himself and a DB on short to intermediate passes. That's where he does the most of his damage.

If this ball is thrown a little more to the left, and a little later, it's a big play off a slant.

I don't see the press really being an issue either on the longer plays because of his ability to work the fakes, and use his hands. He creates a lot of separation between himself and the defender by being able to fake one way and go another, he's great at selling the fake on multiple kinda routes.

 

Using the fake:

Selling one route, to keep the DB off balance and unable to get on him:

Shoulders to beat the press

Again, breaking the press using his shoulders and arms

I think he would do well at either position.because he's not limited in ways you can get the ball to him. He can work the boundary, and he can work the middle.
