Pros

• Versatility
  Aligns all over the offense both as a receiver and a tailback. Team deploys him as a supercharged gadget with manufactured touches from the slot and backfield
• Physicality
  Turns into a running back with the ball in his hands. Hard to bring down and will bulldoze through defensive backs
• Hands
  Hand strength matches the rest of his body. Can pluck the ball away from defenders and seldom lets the ball into his body with few true drops

Cons

• Rawness
  Only recently began playing WR which shows up in both his route tree and technique
• NFL Role
  While Corley’s skill set and play style is dynamic, his size and inexperience could limit his day one availability
• Durability
  Play style and size will only last so long. Will have to find a balance between aggression and business decisions when he has the ball

Eval:

Corley is a bowling ball from the perimeter which creates problems for defenses as they aren’t prepared for his level of physicality and dense frame.

When given manufactured touches you can see how Corley is a Swiss Army knife that can align in the slot or out of the backfield and make plays with the ball in his hands.

Teams will be concerned about how long he can play the way he wants before getting injured, along with his rawness as a true WR. But for organizations that need a spark or influx of dynamic talent, Corley fits the bill.

Floor Comp: Pharoah Cooper
Dense and compact weapon but lacks the size and technique to be effective down in and down out

Ceiling Comp: Golden Tate

Physical WR that plays with a chip on his shoulder and bigger than his size
