Daurice Fountain NFL Draft 2018: Scouting Report for Indianapolis Colts' Pick

POSITIVES

—Vocal leader, captain and coach on the field for Northern Iowa.

—Strong work ethic, sees what he needs to correct and goes and does it.

—Plays taller than he is. At 6'1" Fountain is often making catches over corners.

—Shows athletic ability and utilizes a multi-sport background. Division I track athlete. 

—Bails out quarterbacks with contested catches in traffic.

NEGATIVES

—Struggled when he faced Power Five talent.

—Ran a 4.46 at his pro day but struggled to stretch the field and separate at UNI.

—We're guilty of liking the person more than the player. High-quality character, average player.

—Raw route-runner; will struggle to get open against quality defender.

OVERALL

Electric pro day performance showed the athletic ability that we saw on film. Daurice Fountain's most impressive trait is his personality and work ethic. He won't wow you on film but says and does everything right in interviews. Loves to coach and be coached.

GRADE: 5.50 (Round 6)
