Josh Falo TE USC Scouting Report

Strengths

• Looks and runs like a lanky receiver. High-cut, long and lean frame. Deceptive speed and enough quickness to separate.
• Can seal the edge as an in-line blocker. Not an intimidator but has enough strength, leverage and a solid base.
• A savvy, reliable pass catcher with good body control and focus. Soft hands and has the hand-eye coordination to secure wild throws.
• Varies the speed of his route, using hesitation and shoulder fakes to get the defender guessing.
• Quick athlete and is usually sure-handed as a receiver. Much-improved route runner, creating space in coverage.

Weaknesses

• Doesn't break many tackles or do enough after contact.
• Effort blocker who gets in the way more than he mauls.
• Inconsistent with his release off the line of scrimmage.
• Average size and power for the position; won't overwhelm with his strength.
• Lacks the bulk strength to lock on and control NFL defensive linemen. Lower-body strength is questionable and limits his in-line blocking.
