LaVon Brazill Scouting Report |
LaVon Brazill - Ohio (HT: 5-10⅝ - WT: 192) |
Positives -- Had a breakout senior season where he had 72 catches for 1,150 yards and 11 touchdowns... Dangerous big play threat, had seven games this year with catches over 40 yards... Good deep speed, can get behind the
defense in a hurry; is able to get separation down the field... Good at working the middle of the field and getting yards after the catch, is an explosive open field runner... Great lateral movement skills, can cut on a dime... Does a good job of catching the ball without gearing down... At his best in the short passing game... Versatile weapon, has experience returning punts and taking end arounds... Good character, came back after a bad injury to put up career numbers, a hard worker on and off the field... Ohio's career leader in receptions (187) and receiving yards (2,515).
Negatives -- Missed almost all of the 2010 season after undergoing leg surgery and received a fifth year of eligibility... Undersized, doesn't have the height or frame to consistently line up outside... Rather weak, only put up 11 reps of 225 pounds at the combine and struggles with press coverage, can get knocked off his routes... Poor leaper, only had a 32.5" vertical, struggles when asked to high point the football... Fights the football too much, doesn't have natural hands... Does not extend his arms, lets the ball get into his body, really needs to work on becoming a more fundamental receiver... Lacks the size and strength to stand out as a blocker... Upside is limited due to his lack of size and strength, more of a slot receiver who can contribute on special teams.
