| Orson Charles Scouting Report |
| Orson Charles - Georgia (HT: 6-2½ - WT: 251) |
Positives -- A wide receiver playing tight end; a matchup nightmare, too fast for linebackers and too big for defensive backs... Stretches the field extremely well for a tight end, was often the big play guy in the Georgia offense... Very dangerous after the catch, has the speed to run away from anybody on the
field... Great target in the red zone, uses his frame to out-muscle players, and has the hops to get the ball at its highest point... Very strong, put up 35 reps of 225 pounds at the combine... Solid blocking technique, good job of firing out of his stance and making the initial contact... Pretty versatile, has experience playing the H-Back role... Played against the highest competition in the SEC... Really exploded onto the scene in 2011 with 45 catches for 574 yards and five scores, had 52 receptions combined in his freshman and sophomore year... He's raw but can be groomed into an Aaron Hernandez type player early in his career... Shows the drive to get better every time he steps foot on the field.
Negatives -- Disappointed a lot of people by not running the 40 yard dash at the combine, was expected to put up a great time and send his stock soaring in a weak tight end class... Had a rough go of it at Georgia's pro day, running a 4.90-40 against 20 mph winds and a 4.75-40 with the wind, but looks much faster on tape... Needs to improve his blocking which is understandable since he wasn't asked to do that often at Georgia... Needs to be more consistent with his hands, tends to let the ball come too close to his body resulting in the dropping of easy catches... Also needs to show better concentration on the field, the drops tend to come in bunches... Route running needs some work, tends to round out his routes instead of taking a sharp cut... Relies too much on his speed at times, when he really should focus on running sharp routes and letting that do the work... Name was mentioned in report on recruiting allegations at Miami (FL) but he was cleared to play by the NCAA... Reportedly did not listen well at his pro day, multiple drills were stopped because of him... Was arrested March 9, 2012 and charged with DUI in Clarke County, Ga... Poor pro day and DUI arrest have hurt his stock this offseason.
