Scouting Report: Strengths
- Varies the speed of his route, using hesitation and shoulder fakes to get the defender guessing.
- He’s very good in contested-catch situations, using his frame effectively to make plays facing the quarterback. Yurosek also shows a knack for high-pointing the ball, consistently outmuscling defensive backs.
- Good short-area foot quickness with very good footwork.
- Can seal the edge as an in-line blocker. Not an intimidator but has enough strength, leverage and a solid base.
- Yurosek has quick feet and good body control, allowing him to gear down and quickly get in and out of cuts. His hands are good, and he’s a creative runner after the catch with the elusiveness to slip tackles in space.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Yurosek also lacks suddenness as a route runner, and that is a potential issue at the next level.
- His ability to track the ball is good enough, but Yurosek too often let the ball get into his body downfield rather than snatching it with his hands.
- Yurosek lacks the twitch to create consistent separation, and despite his size and ability to track the ball downfield, he isn’t great on contested catches.
- He’ll also have to adjust to getting his head around to locate the ball on shorter routes over the middle.
