Scouting Report: Strengths
- Shows good awareness, following the eyes of the quarterback and breaking on the ball with excellent quickness and aggression.
- Great on route recognition and has click-and-close ability
- Strong hands to make plays on the ball, effective blitzer who shows well-coached technique and awareness.
- Tracks the ball well downfield and shows good ball skills, including the ability to go up and high-point it in contested-catch situations.
- Has a solid frame with a strong lower body and much improved bulk. Fluid and rangy with the coordination and loose hips to quickly change directions.
- His ball skills are very good. McMorris tracks the ball well downfield and has the hands and coordination to come away with interceptions even when McMorris isn’t targeted often.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- The majority of the time last season, McMorris was able to physically overwhelm opposing receivers early in the down, a scenario that won’t play out as often against NFL receivers.
- While he has man coverage skills, he can struggle when sitting back in zone. He’s not instinctive and struggles reading downfield routes and tracking the deep ball.
- Can also be overaggressive attacking downhill against the run, susceptible to running himself out of position on misdirection and counter plays.
