Scouting Report: Strengths
- Bray tracks the ball well downfield and consistently runs under long throws.
- He plays with a smoothness and balance, and Bray shows a knack for setting up defensive backs.
- An excellent blocker on the outside, he also adds value in the running game.
- He’s very good in contested-catch situations, using his frame effectively to make plays facing the quarterback. Bray also shows a knack for high-pointing the ball, consistently outmuscling defensive backs.
- He’s at his best working in space, showing the quickness and vision of a return specialist. His stop-start ability allows him to create initial separation.
- He’s equally dangerous in catch-and-run situations as he is taking the top off a defense
- A force working up the seam, he accelerates quickly and glides once he gets going.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Bray doesn’t have the ability as a run blocker or the violent run-after-catch ability.
- His playing speed is less than elite. Bray won’t run past defenders like Bray did at the college level.
- He’ll have to develop a better feel for sitting down against zone coverage.
