Ihmir Smith-Marsette WR Iowa Draft Profile

Strengths

• Has a knack for getting open and is a quarterback's best friend - passers just need to toss the ball in his area and he'll come down with it.
• Combines speed, balance, quickness, vision and crisp cuts to leave defensive backs and linebackers in the dust.
• Shows quickness off the snap to shake off corners and create room. Separates with hesitation moves and nice acceleration.
• Has elite speed and cutting ability and good hands and toughness. Lacks the ideal size, but has a similar body type to Antonio Brown.
• Balanced, savvy route runner with top field awareness, setting up and selling routes beautifully.
• An impressive athlete with very quick acceleration to reach his top speed quickly and stretch the field. Very good body control and smooth movements. Plays fast and explosive.
• He gets off the line with a nice burst and is very fluid in his movements with little wasted steps in his routes.
• 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.
• Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.
