Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Has enough upper-body strength and tenacity to be very effective as a downfield blocker. Is not shy about taking on his man, provides some pop and will open a running lane for his back at the next level.
  • Corley runs precise routes, showing an innate feel for setting up defensive backs to create separation.
  • He’s coordinated with soft, reliable hands, and Corley shows the ability to adjust to balls thrown behind him, as well as a knack for digging out low throws.
  • He was frequently put in catch-and-run situations, and he shows good vision with the ability to make tacklers miss in space. He’ll also break a tackle or two; he’s extremely competitive and will give effort as a downfield blocker.
  • He has reliable hands and shows the willingness to make catches in traffic over the middle.
  • 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.
  • Shows good sense as a route runner and provides an enormous catch radius over the middle of the field. Corley has soft hands and uses his frame effectively to shield defenders, making him a major threat in the red zone.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.
  • Corley really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation.
  • Physically, Corley profiles as a guy who should have success facing the quarterback, but he struggles to gear down and make the necessary sharp cuts to create separation underneath.
