| Mario Manningham WR Michigan #86 |
|
Ht:
6'0
Wt: 181
| |
| Strengths: |
| Adequate height. Runs crisp routes. Quick in his cuts. An explosive player after the catch. Has a knack for making the acrobatic catch. A true number one receiver in college. Faster on the field than his timed speed indicates. Steps up in clutch situations. |
| Weaknesses:
|
| Hands are average at best; drops too many very catchable passes. Below average speed. Not a physical receiver; avoids contact. Not a team player; was bench at times for not giving his best effort on the field. Serious character concerns. Arrested in 2007 for possessing prescription pain killers not prescribed to him; charges were dropped but it raises a red flag for a guy that is already not perceived as having questionable character. |
| Comments:
|
| Manningham has the skills to be an elite receiver at the next level, but he just as easily could be a complete bust. He has talent, but there are just too many concerns to take a chance on him too early. He overall value places him in the second round, despite clearly having first round physical tools. |
