Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Balanced, savvy route runner with top field awareness, setting up and selling routes beautifully.
  • Good quickness off the line. Has size and quickness to get off NFL press.
  • Strong runner with the ball with enough agility to make defenders miss in the open field.
  • A versatile weapon, proving to be effective inside in the slot and outside on the perimeter. Makes plays at all levels of the field.
  • Rucker also proved to be a force in catch-and-run situations. A violent runner who transitions upfield quickly after the catch, Rucker has the speed to pick up chunks of yardage once he’s broken the first tackle.
  • Very soft, natural hands to cleanly catch away from his frame. Concentration is excellent. Has the lateral agility and strength to get into and out of routes smoothly.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Inconsistent high-pointing passes. Allows too many throws into his body when facing the quarterback.
  • Rucker has constantly ran a limited route tree.
  • Rucker seems comfortable in traffic to the point where Rucker doesn’t make the effort to create separation.
