- He’s coordinated with soft, reliable hands, and Russell shows the ability to adjust to balls thrown behind him, as well as a knack for digging out low throws.
- Good short-area foot quickness with very good footwork.
- Russell has reliable hands and shows the willingness to make catches in traffic over the middle.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- While Russell has the athleticism to be a catch-and-run threat, he never seemed comfortable catching, gathering, and transitioning to a runner.
- A glider, moves faster than he appears but lacks the top-end speed to be a real threat down the seam.
- Whilst he is at his best running downfield, he lacks the elite top-end speed or acceleration to be a field stretcher.
