(ATH/WR ) Devon Wylie -- Fresno State


























*#07 *5-9 *170 *2011/SR

ATHLETE/ WIDE RECEIVER

Strengths
He is explosive and fast with the ball in his hands

He plays with such physical toughness for a player of his size

He has an immediacy about his play on the field that is infectious to others around him

He consistently seems to end plays leaning forward

Possesses absolute gamebreaking skills (the feet to break defenders ankles)

He is a very effective hands catcher (not allowing ball into his body - which could result into potential deflection turnovers)

He reminds me of current NFL WR/PR/KR's "Wes Welker & Julian Edelman". In both similar stature & all out approach to the game on the field

He is a fearless & effective returner, who rarely calls for fair catches


Weaknesses
Lacks ideal size

Additional weight gain recommended (for durability purposes)

Summary
He may lack ideal size or traditional position, but one thing is for sure when it comes to this collegiate performer, he is a no question playmaker. Whose skills demand a number of touches throughout the duration of a game. He is an unappreciated (lack of touches) talent/ weapon on his teams offense. Look for him during the upcoming 2010 collegiate season, and at the next level!
