OVERALL

Theo Wease is an outside receiver with NFL height, weight and length. 

Wease is the size of a typical possession receiver. He has good strength and plays through contact. He generated yards after the catch by taking on and absorbing contact as he continued to fight forward. 

As a route-runner, Wease understands how to attack corners’ leverage early in the rep. He is a good vertical salesman who opens up slants and in-breaking routes. Wease uses his frame to jostle and box out defenders as the ball arrives. On downfield targets, he tracks the ball patiently with late hands to win contested catches. 

Wease is an average athlete. He lacks the foot speed to outrun corners vertically. His route-running is solid, but he is a one-speed mover. His routes lack multiple speed and burst out of his breaks.

Wease has good ball skills but is an underwhelming leaper. Additionally, he is a high-hipped route-runner who rarely sinks his hips to create separation. 

Wease projects as a back-of-the-depth-chart receiver in the NFL. He has the size and ball skills to be a highly competitive receiver, though.
