STRENGTHS
John is one of the smartest receivers I have seen coming out in a draft. He has good size and speed but his ability to think like a quarterback, making himself available against zone and single coverages, is what sets him apart from others in this draft. He has good hands and the toughness to go over the middle and make the big play. He can move the chains and will catch the deep ball. John is an excellent blocker and that makes him an excellent teammate showing leadership skills through his play on the field. He has the talent to be a franchise receiver because he is always willing to do whatever you ask of him. That being said, sometimes that doesn’t get recognized until you call on him.
CONCERNS
John is not as big as some of the other receivers in this draft, and he is not as fast as some of the other receivers in this draft, and that will affect his draft status. John has an injury and that will affect his draft status if he can’t work out at some point before the draft.
BOTTOM LINE: 1.83
John is a smart, team-orientated player with a worker bee style of play that sometimes gets overlooked or taken for granted. Nevertheless, that style will not be overlooked by the coaches and quarterbacks he plays with. When you need a block or a catch to move the chains or score a touchdown or just, in general, make a big play, John will be the one receiver on the field you can count on. He reminds me a lot of the underrated Rams, former Bills receiver Robert Woods. As I stated before, in this draft there are a lot of bigger receivers and some that might be faster but trust me when I say… there will not be many that will be better. John is a complete receiver who will make the big play in the most important game and that you can bet on for sure.
