Scouting Report: Strengths
- Mallory can move the chains and has the skills to stand out in the red zone with sneaky foot speed and long stride to top producing tight end.
- Good burst off the snap, quick hands and good balance to gain a clean release.
- He’s a creative runner with good vision in the open field. He’ll contribute as a run blocker on the perimeter. He’s also a possible return specialist.
- A lean athlete with obvious upside. Soft hands. Flashes the ability to make the outstanding catch.
- Very good speed for the position. Has a second gear to accelerate. Big-play threat.
- Has the burst off the snap to be split out wide in the NFL
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- His ability to track the ball is good enough, but Mallory too often let the ball get into his body downfield rather than snatching it with his hands.
- Mallory lacks the twitch to create consistent separation, and despite his size and ability to track the ball downfield, he isn’t great on contested catches.
- Is a bit high-hipped and slow to get rolling. Frame limits upside as a blocker.
