Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Thriving on physicality, he’s a contested-catch specialist with a knack for warding off defenders while the ball is in the air. Trigg has strong hands and the ability to wrestle the ball away from defenders.
  • Has hands of glue, about as good as you 'll see in the sport.
  • His long arms allow him to play bigger than his size, and Trigg has a frame that can carry a little more weight.
  • Trigg has strong hands and is extremely competitive, and he has an innate sense of timing when it comes to elevating and high-pointing balls.
  • Gets a quick release off the line. Dips his shoulder and shows some savvy 8 as a route runner to avoid contact with defenders g to get into his route.
  • Has the burst off the snap to be split out wide in the NFL
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Trigg isn’t going to overwhelm opposing defensive backs with speed and athleticism.
  • Struggles tracking the ball over his shoulder.
  • Trigg seems comfortable in traffic to the point where Trigg doesn’t make the effort to create 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.
