Pros

• Explosiveness
• Naturally efficient athlete in underneath areas with the 0-60 to burst and get to top speed in an instant
• Suddenness
• Excellent footwork and hips to downshift on return routes or sink on in-breakers
• Ball Skills
• Effortless tracking even in distorted sight lines.

Cons

• Contested Catches
• Won't always win when placed in 1v1 scenarios, lacking the control and physicality to dominate in contested situations
• Balance
• Lots of horsepower occasionally leaves him spinning his wheels on releases or slipping out of breaks
• Physicality
• Needs to develop a release package and better plan for getting off of press coverage

Eval:

Nabers is a buttery smooth athlete with natural explosion and ball tracking that is uniform in dominant X WRs. Teams will want to see him develop both physically and technically to round out his game, but his game-breaking ability will have teams clamoring for him in the top 5 of April’s draft.

Ceiling Comp: Julio Jones

If Nabers can develop physically he has all the athleticism and ball skills reminiscent of one of the more dominant WRs of his generation.
