Recent Kevin Norwood Notes
Kevin Norwood
lanky build and average-at-best muscle tone. needs to get stronger and dedicate himself to the weight room. tends to play too high and struggles vs. press and physical defenders at the start and peak of routes. lacks great start/stop explosion and not very creative as a ballcarrier.
Much improved blocker, but still has room to grow in this area. Needs to improve his ball security and be a better finisher. Older prospect and will be a 25-year old NFL rookie. Below average career production at a school with a talented quarterback and average receivers - only one career 100-yard receiving game and never led the Tide in receiving.
strengths
Flexible body type with adequate height and hand size. Good speed for the position with sharp footwork and leverage in his routes. Quick-starter with short-area burst. Smooth body control and excellent mid-air adjustments to twist and look the ball into his hands. Very good concentration and a natural hands-catcher.
nice awareness to locate and pluck, working back to the ball and aggressively attacking it. never quits on his quarterback. smart with an alert sideline sense. knows where the sticks are. good football character and known as a reliable option on and off the field. positive attitude and carries himself like a professional. already has his master's degree.
