Scouting Report: Strengths
- Foucha has the straight-line speed to recover. His ball skills are tremendous, with good hands and the potential to take it to the house any time Foucha gets his hands on the ball.
- He has good size and is a fluid mover, capable of mirroring quickness underneath
- Has good body control and balance to redirect and break down in the open field.
- He has the ability to move down and cover tight ends, with the fluid hips to turn and the speed to run with anyone down the middle of the field.
- Foucha tracks the ball well and does a nice job of getting his head around in plenty of time to avoid flags.
- He’s physical at the line of scrimmage, showing unexpected power in his hands.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Feet aren’t ideal, as Foucha gets sloppy in his backpedal and can be sluggish when transitioning to close on the ball.
- Isn’t great in route recognition when he’s facing the action, is hesitant and susceptible to double moves, and too often gets unnecessarily handsy when playing trail position
- Needs to develop a better understanding of route combinations and better overall vision.
