Artavis Scott is not the biggest receiver in the world at just 5’10, however, he does all of the little things well. Scott runs crisp routes, catches the ball well, and displays toughness in traffic. Scott is one of the more underrated prospects in this draft class in my opinion. You’d be hard pressed to find a wide receiver that is more versatile than Artavis Scott. Not only does he impact the game as a wide receiver, but, he is a lethal return man.

Expectations:

I expect Artavis Scott to light up the combine. Scott should test well in everything, because he posses good straight line speed and even better lateral quickness. Come draft night, I do not think that Scott will hear his named called in the first two rounds. That being said, Scott is will likely be drafted from the 3rd round and on.

Artavis Scott reminds me of Antonio Brown in his stature and style of play. Much like Brown, Scott plays bigger than his 5’10 frame and he is a legitimate return man.
