WEAKNESSES

—Played against a low level of competition at Georgia Southern and never quite dominated the way an NFL prospect should against FCS talent.

—Tape shows him giving up a lot of catches to players who won't make the NFL.

—Not very tough at the point of attack; inconsistent effort as a tackler, which led to too many missed tackles.

—Doesn't use his track speed on the football field; lets players stack him vertically.

—Not much more than an athlete at this phase of his career and must be developed.

—Has no slot experience, which is where he'll likely play in the NFL because of size limitations (5'10", 191 lbs).

OVERALL

Making the jump from a small school to the NFL can be a challenge, and Vildor has his share of technique to clean up. But his athletic gifts could make that transition much easier if he takes to coaching the way he did during Senior Bowl week.
