Draft Profile: Bio
Raymond Cottrell from Milton High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Cottrell opted to join Texas A&M.

In 2023 as a freshman Cottrell saw action in just 3 games for the Aggies as he made one reception for just 13 yards for an average of 13.0 yards per reception, with one TD, and an excellent QB rating when targeted of 158.3.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • 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.
  • Has a tall frame and long arms, plus strong hands, giving him a huge catch radius.
  • Cottrell also proved to be a force in catch-and-run situations. A violent runner who transitions upfield quickly after the catch, Cottrell has the speed to pick up chunks of yardage once he’s broken the first tackle.
  • 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.
  • He’s also a catch-and-run threat, a creative runner who has good vision in the open field; he’ll be an option to return kicks as well.
  • Does not have exceptional straight-line speed but takes advantage of open seams when his quarterback is on target.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Lacks foot quickness to separate and could be more physical. Cottrell has yet to get the maximum potential out of his natural athletic ability.
  • 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.
  • Hands are good, not great. Will drop some easy balls and sometimes will body catch. Occasionally fails to high point.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
