Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Has the strong hands any NFL wide receiver coach and quarterback would covet. Tracks the deep ball over either shoulder and brings in passes fluidly without breaking stride downfield.
  • He’s a fluid athlete with excellent short-area quickness; Bobo should be able to create separation, and he has enough straight-line speed to threaten down the seam
  • Strong runner with the ball with enough agility to make defenders miss in the open field.
  • A fluid mover capable of creating some separation over the middle of the field, he has the long arms and soft hands to provide a sizable catch radius.
  • Bobo transitions quickly from receiver to runner, and he has enough speed to threaten the seam.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Bobo won't threaten the top of the defense.
  • Does not drop his hips to get in position while blocking and fails to take correct angles to his man.
  • Whilst Bobo is at his best running downfield, he lacks the elite top-end speed or acceleration to be a field stretcher.
  • He’s largely a non-factor downfield, and he had issues with drops when running behind a defensive back and tracking the ball. More quick than fast, he won’t always be able to run away from NFL defensive backs.

*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.
