| George Bryan Scouting Report |
| George Bryan - North Carolina State (HT: 6-5 - WT: 265) |
Positives -- A model of consistency in college, had at least 30 receptions and three touchdowns during his final three seasons... A great red zone target, really knows how to use his body in small spaces and is a tough matchup for any defender... Surprisingly quick for a man of his size; people underestimate
him when he goes down the field... Can hold his own when blocking, has a nasty side to him that you do not want to mess with... Is not afraid to go across the middle and take a big hit, his hands allow him to protect the football and his size protects him... Works very hard off the field, will put in extra time to get acquainted with the offense and will study the playbook very hard... Really knows how to work the zone, finds the opening and sits in it... An absolute load to bring down, sometimes takes three to four guys just to wrestle him to the ground... A better receiver than some would anticipate, not just a big body and can be used in more ways than just blocking.
Negatives -- It takes a lot of time for him to reach full speed; wouldn't qualify as too much of a threat down the seam... You would expect him to be stronger for a man of his size... Tends to snap his hips instead of having a good bend, could lead to an injury down the line... He can't get yards after the catch because he simply can't run away from defenders... Not a very good route runner, very stiff in the hips and can't really sell a fake, and most defenders know he's not too much of a downfield threat so they only respect his short routes... Needs more time in the weight room, not very strong and simply cannot move bigger defenders off the line of scrimmage.
