Scouting Report: Strengths
- A fluid mover capable of creating some separation over the middle of the field, Dippre has the long arms and soft hands to provide a sizable catch radius.
- A powerful open-field runner with agility, quickness, and a decent stiff-arm.
- A big-bodied and sure-handed underneath target, he's a fluid mover, and he shows good sense as a route runner and provides an enormous catch radius over the middle of the field.
- Looks to get involved downfield and will block multiple defenders on a single play when he can. Understands his role as a blocker.
- Dippre transitions quickly from receiver to runner, and he has enough speed to threaten the seam.
- Quick feet and good balance to create separation on stick and post routes.
- Varies the speed of his route, using hesitation and shoulder fakes to get the defender guessing.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s a work in progress as a blocker, often playing too high and getting overpowered at the point of attack.
- Dippre lacks the twitch to create consistent separation, and despite his size and ability to track the ball downfield, Dippre isn’t great on contested catches.
- Dippre isn’t going to overwhelm opposing defensive backs with speed and athleticism.
