Scouting Report: Strengths
- Has the strong hands any NFL wide receiver coach and quarterback would covet. Tracks the deep ball over either shoulder and brings in passes fluidly without breaking stride downfield.
- He’s a fluid athlete with excellent short-area quickness; Bobo should be able to create separation, and he has enough straight-line speed to threaten down the seam
- Strong runner with the ball with enough agility to make defenders miss in the open field.
- A fluid mover capable of creating some separation over the middle of the field, he has the long arms and soft hands to provide a sizable catch radius.
- Bobo transitions quickly from receiver to runner, and he has enough speed to threaten the seam.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Bobo won't threaten the top of the defense.
- Does not drop his hips to get in position while blocking and fails to take correct angles to his man.
- Whilst Bobo is at his best running downfield, he lacks the elite top-end speed or acceleration to be a field stretcher.
- He’s largely a non-factor downfield, and he had issues with drops when running behind a defensive back and tracking the ball. More quick than fast, he won’t always be able to run away from NFL defensive backs.
