| Nick Toon Scouting Report |
| Nick Toon - Wisconsin (HT: 6-1½ - WT: 215) |
Positives -- Natural plucker who can catch while on the run... Great body control, can go up and make plays down the field, adjusts to the ball over either shoulder... Has great hands, doesn't drop many passes and can extend his arms to make catches outside his frame... Great at working the middle of
the field, is a tough receiver who is not afraid of contact... Had the best year of his career as a senior, benefited from having Russell Wilson throwing to him... Solid red zone target and can go up and make a play on fade routes... Should be a solid possession receiver at the next level, good route runner with great boundary awareness... Terrific NFL bloodlines, his father is Al Toon, former All-Pro receiver for the New York Jets... Very polished, should have a quick transition to the NFL, can run every route... Physical receiver who does a good job using his hands to fight off corners... Willing run blocker, was asked to block a ton at Wisconsin and his size and strength allow him to be above-average in this area... Combination of size and natural receiving ability makes him valuable and he should at minimum settle in as a #2 receiver at the next level.
Negatives -- Despite being a starter for most of his career, never dominated Big Ten competition, never had a 1,000 yard season... Beneficiary of having a lot of one-on-one coverage due to Wisconsin's rushing attack... Is not a burner, more of a one speed runner who can get down the field but lacks burst... Major injury concerns, missed games in three of four years due to injury... Doesn't have great lateral agility, struggles to make sharp cuts and has to gear down at times, will struggle to get separation at times.
