Hands-catcher that cleanly snatches balls away from his body. Reliably catches passes in contested coverage. Good ability to cross defenders to create separation on shorter routes. Crisp in and out of breaks. Great acceleration and explosiveness. Very effective on out routes versus soft coverage. Natural feel for finding space in the middle of the field. Standout weapon on jump balls in the red zone using body positioning and timing. Effective on screen passes from the outside and slot. Plus elusiveness with the ball in his hands. Impressive strength to break tackles. Has experience out wide and in the slot on both sides of the formation. Very good blocker versus passive defenders.
Weaknesses
Questions about ability to separate consistently versus man coverage. Average top speed. Average agility for his skillset. Not as effective blocking when faced with aggressive defenders.

Conclusion
Overall, St. Brown is a tough, versatile receiver that projects to be an excellent complementary option at the next level. The impact he can make both in the slot and outside the numbers should make St. Brown a definite target for teams on Day 2.
Thought he was taller on tape
Me too really surprising
USC is good.
