Mohamed Massaquoi SELECTED BY: Browns Round 2 (18)

SI Grade 3.88 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Four-year starter awarded all-Conference honors as a senior after posting career numbers of 58/920/8. Junior totals included 32/491/4 after 30/366/2 as a sophomore.

POSITIVES: Strong receiver with excellent size whose game is on the upswing. Fluid releasing off the line of scrimmage, quickly gets to top speed, and consistently finds the open space in the defense. Plays with outstanding awareness, recognizes blitzes, and gets past the sticks on third-down to pick up required yardage. Sells routes, uses his hands to get separation, and effectively makes the reception in stride, losing no momentum. Comes back to the ball out of breaks, extends and makes the reception away from his frame. Physical throughout the action and defeats opponents to make the reception. Uses his frame to shield away defenders or protect the pass, adjusts to the errant throw, and looks the ball into his hands. Exposes himself to the big hit in order to come away with the catch. Displays someone after-the-catch ability.

NEGATIVES: Lacks top end speed, a second gear, and not a vertical threat. Displays a minimal burst in his game.

ANALYSIS: Massaquoi is a skill receiver with a well-rounded game, and he's one of the more underrated wideouts in this year's draft. Besides being a solid football player, he is a high-character person who will be an asset on a roster. Massaquoi has all the skills necessary to develop into a productive second receiver at the next level.
