STRENGTHS
George is a big-play receiver, with big-play speed, who runs mature routes, and has Randy Moss type speed, size, and potential. He has excellent hands and the ability to adjust to the ball in the air and make the impossible catch. George is smart and knows where he is on the field and will make the contested catch to move the chains on third downs. He understands zone coverages and how to sit down and give his QB a big target. He has the quickness inside the red zone to be used on the outside and separate. George’s length, size, speed, ability to catch anything thrown near him, makes him the type of receiver who is always open on every passing down regardless of what coverage you want to throw up against him to stop him.
CONCERNS
George has come back from his knee injury and showed in the bowl game that he is still the impact player he was before his injury. His interviews will be the biggest issue that teams will have to decide if George is a team-orientated player or just an entertainer. I’m not suggesting that he is just an entertainer but, there will be some who will question some of his “after big play” antics. You can see by my TBR that I don’t have a problem.
BOTTOM LINE 1.47
In this talented class of receivers, there will be teams looking for anything to separate them from each other and interviews will be the only way they can do that. George has a flamboyance that will bother some teams while teams will embrace it. That being said, this could affect at what point in the first round George could be selected and even drop him into the 2nd Round. It won’t affect my talent board rating at all because I think George should be considered in the top 10 to 15 in this draft. I think he is the closest talent that I have seen in years to Randy Moss who because of his “flamboyance” wasn’t selected until the 21st pick by the Vikings and then because of his continual “Flamboyance” played for 4 other teams before he was selected into the pro football Hall of Fame. This draft is filled with excellent receivers so where George might be selected is anyone’s guess but don’t be fooled, George is a big-play receiver with Randy Moss type of talent and I would not pass on that type of potential if I were selecting in the top 10 of this draft.
