Overall I came away very impressed after watching waddle, he is the most electric slot style receiver in this class, he plays from the backfield, and is a returner as well, he is unbelievably fast and will definitely find a home in the NFL next season!
He will be worth the late first it will cost you to get him in rookie drafts this year!

Here is some film to help you assess him yourself!

Enjoy!
Here is a great play good route wins leverage and then goes up and gets the ball and show strength to hold on as they come down and he only has one hand on the ball! Shows his toughness as well going up and ripping this down!
Nice route to win leverage again and speed wins to the outside, then makes a great grab and has the awareness and body control to drag his second foot, he’s NFL ready!
When you watch this watch the defenders and count how many had the angle on him originally and then he’s fast enough to put run them!
This is just great vision and patience for blocker to set up then he wiggles though the holes and almost breaks this! Very versatile player here!
Now for the ehh, here we see his blocking issues, he can’t stay latched on and gets leveraged around a lot in blocking game, he will need to work on this for the next level!
the
Nice play here again, he fights back to the ball and makes a tough grab over the defender we’ll being hit!
He shows nice snaps in and out of the cuts here and then goes up and high points the ball over defender! A better thrown ball and this is a touchdown!
Here from the backfield, look at the vision to make that cut in a zone running scheme, he will get touches at the next level in so many ways!
Again he is so quick in and out of these breaks the defenders had no chance and then is just off to the races and few people can catch waddle
Here is another nice route, then a nice catch in stride even though he has to go up for it, then has the awareness to switch the ball to outside hand and he can do it very smoothly!
Here is another example of his elusiveness and YAC abilities!
I mean come on here this man just moss’s these defenders! Goes up and snags the ball knowing he’s getting hit, the body control and toughness it takes for this catch is unreal!
Hopefully this was helpful for you in assessing Waddle as a prospect!

Thank you for stopping in!
