Patrick Edwards, Wide Receiver, Houston 2012 NFL Draft Player Profile

Measurables

5’9″ 172 pounds

29 5/8″ arm length, 8 3/8″ hands

Pros:

Speeds, athleticism, production, really quick, ability to create some yards after the catch, punt return ability

Cons:

Size causes him problems in press coverage, inflated production in the Houston offense, limited route tree, doesn’t have great hands and body catches football (which it even looks like he’s doing in this picture)

Thoughts:

I’ve seen Edwards projected as a fourth rounder by people who have good sources but I’m not getting it. Teams must hope he can be a dynamic punt returner and create more yards after the catch than he has. Despite all of his production he basically runs the go route, and bubble screens. He’s also undersized and has no upside as an outside WR.
