DeAndrew Rubin


Height: 5-11

Weight: 190

Position: WR

College: South Florida

Drafted: Pick 39 of the 7th round by Green Bay
Analysis
Positives: Has a lean, muscular frame, with good strength and quickness off the line of scrimmage...Has the acceleration to elude defenders on deep routes...Quick to separate after the catch...Shows good ball concentration and toughness making the difficult catch in traffic...Tracks the ball in well, making proper body adjustments to snatch the pigskin over his shoulders...Has the leg drive to break arm tackles and is strong enough to deliver punishing cut blocks up field...Has a good outside release, getting into his routes suddenly...Knows how to work back for the ball when the quarterback gets into trouble...Shows patience waiting for blocks to develop on punt and kickoff returns, looking very comfortable fielding the ball.
Negatives: More quick than fast...Needs route refinement, as he tends to round his cuts... Struggles to digest the play book and also has had problems maintaining his grades...Even though he is a strong runner, he needs to become more aware of ball security (keeps the ball exposed too much when turning to head up field)...Appears too slow in and out of his breaks, having to gather himself before gaining speed...Durability is questionable (nagging minor injuries).
Career Notes
An "electric" player, he opened the past three seasons with a roar, only to see ankle and toe injuries slow him...Along with quarterback Marquel Blackwell, he was one of the most exciting players in the Bulls offense, and an outstanding return man to boot...Provided deep speed and a nice passing target for Blackwell, who teamed with Rubin throughout youth leagues, high school, and college...Registered 1306 yards with 14 touchdowns on 91 receptions (14.4 avg) in 42 games...Only Charlie Jackson (104, 1997-2000) had more catches in a career for the Bulls...Set school all-time records as he returned 59 kickoffs for 1534 yards (26.0 avg) and a score and 64 punts for 1049 yards (16.4 avg) and four touch- downs...His 3898 all-purpose yards broke the old South Florida career-record of 3289 yards by Jackson.
