KEVIN CURTIS

Position: WR Class: Sr School: Utah St. Conference: I-A Ind. Ht., Wt.: 5'11, 186 40 Time: 4.43 Grade: 3.89 Selected by St. Louis Rams Round 3, pick 10 (74 overall)

BIO: Former walk-on and one of the nation's most prolific pass catchers the past two seasons. Led the team in receiving as a senior totaling 74 receptions for 1,258 yards with nine scores. Junior totals were 100-1,531-10, leading the NCAA in receptions per game. Spent 1996 and 1997 at Snow Junior College before leaving on a religious mission. Will be 25 years old when the season starts next September. Recently turned in times of 4.30 and a vertical jump of 40-inches during private workouts. POSITIVES: Polished and productive receiver making his way up draft boards. Fluid releasing off the line of scrimmage, quick into his routes and displays sharpness on exit. Extends his hands, looks the ball in and catches the pass away from his frame. Times and anticipates deep receptions well and always on the same page as his QB. Comes back to the ball, finds the open spot in the defense and works to make himself an available target. Keeps the play in bounds and effective running after the catch. Naturally soft hands with the ability to pluck the pass out of the air. Tremendous concentration and routinely makes the acrobatic catch in a crowd. NEGATIVES: Lacks size and gets out muscled by larger opponents. Runs well for the stop watch but does not display the second gear or top end speed on the football field, though many feel he was able to outrun his passers arm in college. ANALYSIS: Natural receiver who moved from the middle rounds into the early part of the drafts first day based on Senior Bowl and Combine performances. Never missed a beat in January or February and a rookie that will come in and immediately help a team. Reminds many of Wayne Chrebet based on his size, quickness and relentless pursuit to make positive plays. PROJECTION: Mid Second Round
