Andrew Armstrong NFL Draft 2025 Scouting Report for Miami Dolphins WR

The Miami Dolphins added Arkansas WR Andrew Armstrong as an undrafted free agent after the 2025 NFL draft.

Andrew Armstrong is a tall, long-limbed receiver who's capable of aligning in multiple positions in the formation. 

Armstrong’s build is suited for the traditional X/boundary receiver position. He uses his frame well to win the inside track. Armstrong excels as a horizontal route-runner—slants, shallow crossers, digs and over routes. On those routes across the field, Andrews does a good job putting defenders in trail/chase mode. He reads coverages well to identify if it’s man or zone post-snap and will decelerate into the void between the hashes. His hand usage is good to fend off handsy/grabby defenders mid-stem. 

Andrew Armstrong Highlights

00:56

Armstrong’s biggest attribute is his ball skills. He attacks the ball at its highest point with a strong leaping ability. He fully extends with his entire frame to pluck the ball away from his body. He doesn’t require pinpoint-accurate passes to make a play. He plays all three wide receiver positions, and that alignment versatility helps create favorable matchups and targets. 

Unfortunately, Armstrong is not a fluid route-runner or mover. He is best suited for one-directional routes instead of multiple cuts due to his hip stiffness. Armstrong struggles to generate separation consistently against tight man coverage. His breaks lack sharpness and crispness.

Armstrong isn’t a dynamic starter to blow by defenders at the snap and stack them vertically. His speed should be categorized as "buildup." As a result, Armstrong will be more of a short-to-intermediate threat. His vertical wins will come off contested catches more times than not. That lack of twitch and agility limits his ceiling as a run-after-the-catch threat. 

Overall, Armstrong is a tall and long receiver who is a ball-winner on contested catches. He projects as a WR4/5 with the chance to move up the pecking order if he can prove to be an adequate route-runner/separator against NFL cornerbacks.
