Summary

He is a little bit of a tough guy to get a handle on, because he can look like a totally different player from game to game. He has excellent AA and size, and good speed, and at times he will show good hands and overall receiving skills.. He has good quickness in his routes, shows separation and is a threat to run after the catch. He has good explosiveness in and out of his cuts, and he can get off a jam. His problem is in the area of consistency. He will disappear from games at times, and will drop some balls that he shouldn’t. There are some nagging worries about concentration and dependability. He needs a good Spring, in terms of catching the ball consistently in his workouts, to take away those fears, but there is a good upside to Nash.
