Greg Salas Scouting Report

Greg Salas is not the first Hawaii wide receiver to have an extremely productive career and he will not be the last, but Salas has rewritten the record books. His career started humbly enough. Salas redshirted in 2006 and only caught three passes in 2007. Those three catches went for 35 yards and a score and even in such limited action Salas began to show that he could turn any pass into a big play. During his sophomore season Salas moved into a bigger role, catching 57 passes for 831 yards and three scores.

However, his production was off the charts as an upperclassman. As a junior, Salas caught 106 passes for 1,590 yards and eight touchdowns. It would be tough to improve on those numbers, but Salas did just that, finishing off his collegiate career with an amazing season where he caught 119 passes for 1,889 yards and 14 scores.

Salas is usually a sure handed receiver, but that was not the case during practice leading up to the Senior Bowl. He was often trying to run before he caught the ball in order to prove that he has the speed and elusiveness to make NFL defenders miss just like he so often did in college. Yet, Salas is not really 6-2 and he does not have blazing speed either. He can certainly make plays, but whether or not he can do it at the next level is a huge concern and so far he has not proven that he can. Assuming things stay the same, Salas will likely fall to the fourth or fifth round.
