Jamison Crowder NFL Draft 2015: Scouting Report, Grade for Redskins Rookie

STRENGTHS

Jamison Crowder is a polished route-runner with quick hands and feet. He was impressive early in the week at the Senior Bowl with a big catch radius and sneaky speed after the catch. Crowder not only produces as a receiver but also as a punt returner. He is more quick than fast and has impressive acceleration off the line of scrimmage.

Crowder isn’t afraid of contact or traffic and will make plays over the middle without restraint. He can line up inside or outside at receiver and is well-coached coming out of Duke.

WEAKNESSES

Crowder is a small body without the speed to separate from defenders over the top. He isn’t able to maintain his acceleration and doesn’t have the second gear to run past defenders down the field. He’s more short than small but has poor length and small hands. Crowder will be typecast to the slot and has a limited ceiling due to height and speed limitations.

PRO COMPARISON: Danny Amendola, New England Patriots

Teams that value return men and slot receivers will love Jamison Crowder—and from an athletic and style standpoint, he’s Danny Amendola minus the injuries.
