Draft Profile: Bio
Micah Mays Jr. from The Benjamin High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Mays Jr. opted to join Wake Forest.

In 2023 as a freshman Mays Jr. saw action in just one game for the Demon Deacons and didn't feature in the passing game.

As a sophomore in 2024 he played just 3 games
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Shows quickness off the snap to shake off corners and create room. Separates with hesitation moves and nice acceleration.
  • Has good body strength to squirm out of tackles with the coordination to maneuver his frame between defenders.
  • He’s coordinated with soft, reliable hands, and Mays shows the ability to adjust to balls thrown behind him, as well as a knack for digging out low throws.
  • Plays fast and confident. Covers a lot of ground in the short half of the field and is slippery after the catch.
  • Fits a zone system, can sift through oncoming traffic and explode through tiny creases and cutback lanes. Elite, darting stop-and-go acceleration. Dangerous in the open field.
  • Has a knack for getting open and is a quarterback's best friend - passers just need to toss the ball in his area and he'll come down with it.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Mays really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation.
  • Mays doesn’t have the ability as a run blocker or the violent run-after-catch ability.
  • Physically, Mays profiles as a guy who should have success facing the quarterback, but he struggles to gear down and make the necessary sharp cuts to create separation underneath.

*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.
