Scouting Report: Strengths
- A powerful open-field runner with agility, quickness, and a decent stiff-arm.
- Knox accelerates quickly and possesses good straight-line speed. He shows solid ball-tracking skills and body control downfield, able to adjust to the off-target throw.
- He has strong hands and is extremely competitive, and Knox has an innate sense of timing when it comes to elevating and high-pointing balls.
- He’s lanky and long-armed, but he has the broad-shouldered frame to carry more weight. He was a national high-jump champion in high school, and that athleticism translates to the passing game.
- He transitions quickly from receiver to runner, and he has enough speed to threaten the seam.
- Thriving on physicality, he’s a contested-catch specialist with a knack for warding off defenders while the ball is in the air. Knox has strong hands and the ability to wrestle the ball away from defenders.
- Soft hands. Flashes good to very good tracking and overall body control to make catches outside of his frame.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Knox has constantly ran a limited route tree.
- Doesn't break many tackles or do enough after contact.
- He’ll be coming to the NFL from a wide-open spread offense in which Knox ran a limited route tree.
