Shaun McDonald

Height: 5-9

Weight: 169

Position: WR

College: Arizona State

Drafted: Pick 9 of the 4th round by St. Louis
Analysis
Positives: Has a lean frame with a defined upper frame, small waist and slender thighs and calves...Has good initial quickness and suddenness coming off the snap...Uses his speed to escape the press coverage and is a very good route runner with the speed and cutting ability to cut and accelerate out of his breaks...Has outstanding field vision, easily finding the soft spot in the zone...Works the sidelines well and is very aware of oncoming defenders...Can create separation on the move and makes good body adjustments going up for the ball...Has good hands placement and superb hand/eye coordination to extend and pluck the ball at its highest point...Holds on to the ball after the collision and has the body flexibility to combat for the ball in traffic...More elusive than fast as a runner, but has an array of wiggle and juke moves to make defenders miss...Despite his size, he will not back down when facing up to defenders as a blocker.
Negatives: Sometimes pulls his arms up short in traffic...Relies on quickness, rather than power to escape the jam, as he can be knocked around by the more physical defenders... Undersized with little playing strength...More effective on the outside perimeter, as his lack of bulk causes him to pull up short on attempts over the middle...Seems to break stride a bit on over-the-shoulder grabs, having to gather himself before turning upfield... Has a strong initial burst, but lacks top-end speed to maintain acceleration on deep routes.
