Scouting Report: Strengths
- Morgan plays with a smoothness and balance, and Morgan shows a knack for setting up defensive backs.
- Tracks the ball well downfield and shows good ball skills, including the ability to go up and high-point it in contested-catch situations.
- An excellent blocker on the outside, he also adds value in the running game.
- He tracks the ball well downfield and consistently runs under long throws.
- He accelerates quickly and possesses good straight-line speed. Morgan shows solid ball-tracking skills and body control downfield, able to adjust to the off-target throw.
- He’s also a catch-and-run threat, a creative runner who has good vision in the open field; he’ll be an option to return kicks as well.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Morgan isn’t going to overwhelm opposing defensive backs with speed and athleticism.
- Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.
- Because of that small frame, Morgan won’t be for everyone; many teams still want their No. 1 receiver to be 6'2" or taller.
