Scouting Report: Strengths
- His passing game skills are strong. He’s a natural hands catcher who turns upfield quickly in the screen game, and Ott shows a great feel for setting up wheel routes.
- He’s capable as a receiver, a weapon on swing passes and in the screen game.
- Ott does a nice job with recognition as a pass protector and gives good effort.
- He keeps his pads low and consistently falls forward. Unlike most backs his size, he has the lateral movement and stop-start ability to make defenders whiff. He has breakaway speed in the open field.
- A compact runner, he has a rare blend of balance, agility and instincts.
- Ott has the straight-line speed to outrun angles, and his flexibility allows him to turn the corner on the perimeter and stay near top speed as he does; he’s especially effective on fly sweeps.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Ott could stand to get smaller when squeezing through traffic.
- Too indecisive and hesitant at the line of scrimmage.
- Ott has a slight build, especially for a running back, and Ott isn’t going to grind out yardage between the tackles, as he lacks power and runs with a fairly high pad level.
