Martavis Bryant

stephen hill, new york jets - similar to hill when he entered the nfl, bryant is a tall, legit vertical threat with potential to be drafted higher than expected, but needs to become more well-rounded as a pass-catcher and become more consistent at the catch point to reach his full potential.

--Dane Brugler (1/5/14)

nice job catching the ball in stride and away from his body. wide catching radius and will make acrobatic and off-target catches look easy. good timing and aggressiveness in 50/50 chances with very good leaping ability. quick footwork to release off the line of scrimmage and make sharp cuts in his routes - good short-area burst to gain a step in/out of his breaks.

Competitive kid. Coming off career-bests as a junior in 2013, finishing second on the team in receiving behind Sammy Watkins.

strengths

Tall, linear athlete with long arms. Above average vertical speed with long strides to accelerate and eat up yards quickly - galloping long-speed to easily gain a step (17 receptions of 20-plus yards in 2013). Flexible and balanced with easy body control to adjust and use his length.

wasn't asked to run a full route tree in clemson's offense and unrefined in this area. room to learn patience, hesitation and better body language in his patterns to hold defenders and better sell routes. needs to get stronger to match up better in tight coverage and show better power after the catch. only one year of starting experience.

COMPARES TO

weaknesses

Tall and long, but not physically imposing from a bulk standpoint - very lean and needs to continue to put meat on his bones. Very inconsistent concentration with too many double-catches and drops at the college level.
