| Ryan Broyles Scouting Report |
| Ryan Broyles - Oklahoma (HT: 5-10⅛ - WT: 192) |
Positives -- Hands are like glue, catches everything around him... Good at plucking the ball out of the air with his hands, rarely lets the ball get into his body... Willing to make the tough catch over the middle... Most effective when working from the slot, makes a lot of catches within 1-10 yards from the line of
scrimmage... Good at finding the soft spot in zone coverage... Very shifty in the open field, displays a short area burst and good vision... Hard to tackle after he makes the catch, elusive... Crazy good production, set an NCAA record with 349 career receptions, breaking the previous mark of 316 by Purdue's Taylor Stubblefield... Posted 131 catches for 1,622 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2010, set seven Oklahoma receiving records... Strong upper body, led all Oklahoma receivers with a bench press of 310 pounds, put up 21 reps of 225 lbs. at the combine... Great punt returner, can pull double-duty in the NFL as receiver and return man... Still improving, only had 79 career receptions in high school, was recruited to Oklahoma as a cornerback and redshirted his freshman year to improve as a wide receiver.
Negatives -- A bit undersized, might struggle to get off the line of scrimmage in the NFL... Has a tendency to be bumped off his routes... Is more quick than fast... Suffered a collar bone injury in 2009... Very minor character concerns, was arrested his freshman year for stealing gasoline... Oklahoma's pass heavy offense inflated his stats a bit... Limited upside because of his size, will be a better number two option in the NFL than number one... Not a run blocker, seems to give up on his blocks too early... Tore his ACL in November, 2011 and was forced to miss the end of his senior season.
