Aaron Dobson Scouting Report

Marshall Thundering Herd wide receiver Aaron Dobson has a very good combination of height, strength and speed and could potentially develop into a true No. 1 receiver at the next level.

Dobson has tremendous ball skills and can make difficult catches away from his body. Rarely allows the ball into his frame and can pluck it anywhere in his wingspan. Terrific body control and knows how to use his basketball background when using his body to shield away defenders.

Adequate speed and a long-strider. Can work the middle of the field and not afraid of contact after the catch. Route-running is inconsistent and will require polish in order to learn how to gain separation. Needs to be more precise with his footwork. Does well against press coverage. Bends well to explode in and out of cuts. Solid run blocker, nothing special.

Great leaper and can go up to win 50/50 balls. Deceptive speed and will likely need to run very well in order to further improve his draft stock.

Dobson projects as a third round choice in the 2013 NFL Draft.
