Scouting Report: Strengths
- Physical player able to get off press coverage to release up the sideline or position himself inside the cornerback on slants and crossing routes.
- Fearless in traffic. Very good hand-eye coordination with large, soft hands. Plays confident. High-points the ball. Strong possession receiver.
- He’s coordinated with soft, reliable hands, and Shaw shows the ability to adjust to balls thrown behind him, as well as a knack for digging out low throws.
- Has a tall frame and long arms, plus strong hands, giving him a huge catch radius.
- A major factor is his size, strength and explosive athleticism, but he also has a knack for tracking and high-pointing the ball.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses

- Shaw won't threaten the top of the defense.
- He lacks the twitch to create consistent separation, and despite his size and ability to track the ball downfield, Shaw isn’t great on contested catches.
- Shaw really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation.
