Corey Sutton WR Appalachian State Scouting Report

Strengths

• Good effort and technique as a blocker for his size. Can beat the press with elusiveness or physical contact. Runs crisp routes with sharp cuts.
• Does not have exceptional straight-line speed but takes advantage of open seams when his quarterback is on target.
• 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.
• 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.
• Strong runner with the ball with enough agility to make defenders miss in the open field.
• Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he's rarely caught from behind.
• Generally reliable receiver capable of making difficult catches in traffic over the middle or one on one down the sideline.

Weaknesses

• Hands are good, not great. Will drop some easy balls and sometimes will body catch. Occasionally fails to high point.
• Does not own elite speed. Freezes at times when trying to juke defenders in space. Walls off his man as a blocker, allowing them to shed and make the play outside.
• Inconsistent high-pointing passes. Allows too many throws into his body when facing the quarterback.
