Ladd McConkey Scouting Report
Strengths
Simply put, Ladd McConkey has terrific route-running skills. His smooth movements and crisp cuts keep defenders off balance, consistently gaining separation. Additionally, he effectively manipulates defenders’ leverage while maintaining enough speed to threaten deep coverage.
McConkey has strong hands that allow him to reel in passes thrown away from his body. Although not a jump-ball receiver, he consistently came up with impressive catches on passes that were thrown low and to the sides.
Weaknesses
McConkey lacks the physicality and strength that is required to become one of the league’s premier wideouts. It can cause issues beating the press and coming up with certain contested catches over cornerbacks. Still, McConkey understands who he is as a receiver and gets the best out of his skillset because of it.
