Bailey Gaither WR San José State Draft Profile

Strengths

• A savvy, natural pass-catcher with reliable hands and very good focus. Snatches the ball out of the air and shows the concentration to make acrobatic catches look easy.
• Does a nice job locating and tracking deep passes and is a legitimate vertical threat. Willing to go up and attack the ball.
• Does not have exceptional straight-line speed but takes advantage of open seams when his quarterback is on target.
• Balanced, savvy route runner with top field awareness, setting up and selling routes beautifully.
• Often used on deep routes, getting separation down the sideline or over the middle on crossing routes by extending his arms rather than pure speed.

Weaknesses

• NFL defenders may be able to knock him off his route because of his slight frame.
• Doesn't have the size to consistently win on the outside, but can be productive working the middle of the field and as a return man.
• Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.
• Lacks ideal size and strength and is a ·mallish target with a lean, frail-looking frame. Can be overmatched at the line of scrimmage when physical !le/enders get their hands on him. Struggles in press coverage and was knocked on his back more than a few times.
