Rashod Bateman:
6'2"
210lbs
17.9 BOA.
40: TBD (4.5 ish?)

Games watched - 19: Auburn, Penn St, Northwestern; 20: Purdue

Player Comp:

Combination of
Michael Crabtree/Allen Robinson

ARob - 6'2". 220lbs. 19.0 BOA. 40: 4.56

Strengths:
Nice release off the line of scrimmage

Runs through his routes on run plays
Really good hands

Weakness:
No real blazing speed
Big size but doesnt win a lot of contested catches
Doesn't make the first defender miss

Imo he'll need an alpha on the team to see early success but as he grows in the lg has potential to be an alpha
