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.
