Draft Profile: Bio
Dylan Braithwaite from Holy Trinity Diocesan High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 3-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Braithwaite opted to join Rutgers.

In 2023 as a freshman Braithwaite saw action in just one game for the Scarlet Knights as he made one reception for only 10 yards for an average of 10.0 yards per reception, with no TDs, and QB rating when targeted of 108.3.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Has smooth acceleration and deceiving speed. Balanced and very fast with the ball in his hands.
  • Shows quickness off the snap to shake off corners and create room. Separates with hesitation moves and nice acceleration.
  • Plays fast and confident. Covers a lot of ground in the short half of the field and is slippery after the catch.
  • Braithwaite gets off the line with a nice burst and is very fluid in his movements with little wasted steps in his routes.
  • He’s a fluid athlete with excellent short-area quickness; Braithwaite should be able to create separation, and he has the straight-line speed to threaten down the seam.
  • An impressive athlete with very quick acceleration to reach his top speed quickly and stretch the field. Very good body control and smooth movements. Plays fast and explosive.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Will have limitations against physical cornerbacks because of his thin frame. If locked up at the line, Braithwaite lacks the upper-body strength to fight off the press with his hands.
  • He’ll have to develop a better feel for sitting down against zone coverage.
  • Braithwaite really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
