| Chris Owusu - Stanford (HT: 6-0⅛ - WT: 196) |
Positives -- Lit up the combine, was one of the fastest players in attendance; a terrific overall athlete, had a 40.5" vertical and can really go up and high point the football... Great lower body explosion, really accelerates quickly and gets up field in a hurry... Although not big, he has a nice build, appears to
have a strong upper body and put up 19 reps of 225 pounds at the combine... Does a good job fighting off press coverage, uses his strength to his advantage and is tough to jam with his initial quickness... Does a good job of catching the ball with his arms extended and doesn't let the ball get into his body... Solid route runner, does a good job with his cuts and can get separation in man coverage... Good runner after the catch due to his speed and quickness, a creative open field runner who can break the big play... Great kickoff return potential; averaged 27.3 yards per kick return in 78 career returns.
Negatives -- Has severe injury questions, only played in seven games in 2010 after battling injuries all year and missed games as a senior after sustaining a concussion in a game against Oregon State; never appears fully healthy, suffered three concussions total over a 13 month span... Never dominated Pac-12 competition, had a career high 37 catches for 682 yards and five touchdowns back in 2009 and his production has fallen off the past two years with his injuries... Has the second smallest hands of any receiver at the combine, will have trouble securing the football... A risk-reward player; has the physical ability to be a starter down the line, but he may be out of the league in a year or two as well due to his concussion problems.
