Ryan Whalen - Stanford (HT: 6-1⅛ - WT: 202)
Combine 40: 4.60 - Position Rank: 28 of 60
Positives: Above-average size and strength... Runs great routes... Good at working the sidelines, excellent body control... Has good awareness on the field, knows where the first down is and was a go-to target on third down... Fights for jump balls... Good leaper, had a 38.5" vertical at the combine... Hard worker, former walk-on... Tough player, not afraid to get hit... Gives good effort as a blocker... Coachable, has a good head on his shoulders.
Negatives: Below-average speed, struggles to get separation on vertical routes... Regressed a bit from his junior season, saw his production cut in half after battling an elbow injury for most of the year... Poor runner after the catch, is not much of a big play threat... Not elusive... Takes too many false steps at the line of scrimmage... Arms are a bit short and hands are a bit small... Gathers himself too much before cutting, gears down in his routes... Low ceiling due to his limited physical gifts... Did not have a play go for over 30 yards in 2010... Was not frequently targeted in the red-zone, only had seven touchdown receptions in four years at Stanford.
