Billy McMullen


Height: 6-4

Weight: 210

Position: WR

College: Virginia

Drafted: Pick 31 of the 3rd round by Philadelphia
Analysis
Positives: Has a lean, muscular upper body frame with strong legs and very big hands... Gets a strong release off the line, using his size and power to defeat press coverage...Has good short area quickness and runs crisp intermediate routes...Shows above average ball concentration, tracking the ball into his hands well...Makes good body adjustments on the ball in tight coverage, combating the defenders with aggression to get to the pigskin in a crowd...Times his jumps perfectly and knows how to extend his hands to snatch the ball... Has natural hands, catching most passes that comes his way...Uses his leg drive to compensate for a lack of linear speed in his attempts to gain yardage after the catch...Is a physical blocker who will not hesitate to put his body on a defender...Shows adequate burst and acceleration on his vertical drive...Catches the ball away from his body and gets his eyes on the target quickly...Shows a good arm for the option pass.
Negatives: More of a long strider who lacks the linear speed to separate from defenders on deep routes...Poor route runner, who is generally used on slants and underneath patterns due to his lack of acceleration to elude defenders on deep patterns...More of a long strider who struggles to get to top speed...Relies more on his smooth stride rather than quickness, which could be a problem in the NFL (defenders are much quicker there)...Rarely runs away from the defenders heading upfield, but is effective using his strength to break arm tackles...Shows a little stiffness in his hips and needs to recognize movement in his routes...Strong blocker, but needs to sustain it longer, as he tries to lock out defenders in downfield blocking, but will disengage after the initial hit...Has trouble going deep, as he does not utilize double moves to prevent the defensive backs from trying to turn him (needs to push the cornerbacks off).
