Scouting Report: Strengths
- Goes up high for jump balls. Good flexibility and reach to snatch back-shoulder throws.
- He’s coordinated with soft, reliable hands, and Shaw shows the ability to adjust to balls thrown behind him, as well as a knack for digging out low throws.
- Balanced, savvy route runner with top field awareness, setting up and selling routes beautifully.
- Often used on deep routes, getting separation down the sideline or over the middle on crossing routes by extending his arms rather than pure speed.
- Shaw catches the ball with his large, soft hands and is tough. Deceptive jets and a smooth route runner.
- Has the size, length, and strength to defeat press jams. Can make the spectacular catch. A decent open-field runner with some agility and the ability to break tackles.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.
- Shaw also lacks suddenness as a route runner, and that is a potential issue at the next level.
- Whilst Shaw is at his best running downfield, he lacks the elite top-end speed or acceleration to be a field stretcher.
