Scouting Report: Strengths
- He’s a precise route runner, creating separation when used on quick outs and stop patterns in college. Shorter has good stop-start ability and lateral agility.
- Generally reliable receiver capable of making difficult catches in traffic over the middle or one on one down the sideline.
- Shorter shows good initial quickness off the line of scrimmage, and Shorter has enough strength to be able to consistently escape the jam at the next level. He’s a coordinated hands catcher who effectively tracks the ball downfield.
- Does not have exceptional straight-line speed but takes advantage of open seams when his quarterback is on target.
- Has enough upper-body strength and tenacity to be very effective as a downfield blocker. Is not shy about taking on his man, provides some pop and will open a running lane for his back at the next level.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s not physically imposing. Shorter is small-framed and won’t be able to carry much more weight.
- A straight-line athlete with only average speed, lacking the wheels to run away from anyone at the next level. Struggles separating in tight coverage.
- His playing speed is less than elite. He won’t run past defenders like Shorter did at the college level.
- Shorter doesn’t have the ability as a run blocker or the violent run-after-catch ability.
