Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Fluid mover with decent speed and his length allows him to cover effectively downfield
  • Has good awareness and quick feet. Fluid backpedal, aggressive attacking the receiver from the snap, and flashes spectacular ball skills.
  • Has the length and speed to emerge as a starter two or three years down the line.
  • Anticipation skills and explosive, downhill burst could make him a star in zone-based scheme.
  • Effective out of the slot, showing the instincts and quickness to mirror when the receiver has a two-way go. Pritchett has good instincts and awareness when playing off, showing good route recognition and anticipation when breaking on the ball.
  • Has a nice, low backpedal and shows the click-and-close ability to play off his man. Pritchett also has the good long speed to turn and run as a press coverage guy and the powerful hands to disrupt receivers early in the route
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Tends to play conservatively and give too much cushion when playing off.
  • 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
  • Inconsistent getting off of blocks. Can be a step slow to react when a quarterback comes back to his side of the field late in progression.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
