Don’t know a lot about him but it sounds like he’s exactly what we need. A comparison I heard on NFL Network was Randall Cobb.

Fitting that we trade up and select a WR. Especially considering his name lol.

Amari Rodgers | Wide Receiver | Clemson | 5'9 1/2" - 212 lbs.
 


40 Low: 4.46
40 Time: 4.52
40 High: 4.58

Strengths
[list]
  • Very strong, with compact body type.
  • Came back from ACL tear in 166 days, exemplifying work ethic.
  • Sets up cornerbacks with clever alterations of route speed.
  • Can get to top speed very quickly.
  • Plus ball-tracking and focus to catch the 50-50 ball.
  • Second gear to chase down the deep ball.
  • Natural footwork in adjusting to off-target tosses.
  • Stabs it out of air with sudden hands.
  • Able to slip or break first tackle after catch.
  • Pull-away speed in the open field.
  • Capable of handling punt return duties.
  • Competitive nature is above average.[/list]

  • Weaknesses
    [list]
  • Needs to prove he can deal with NFL press.
  • Inconsistent early vertical push off the snap.
  • Has a tendency to rush through route fakes.
  • Average foot agility getting in and out of breaks.
  • Shorter arms with some tightness in upper body.
  • Loss of catch concentration at times in 2018 and 2020.
  • [*]Needs to keep working to find softest spots in zone for quarterback.[/list]

    Sounds like they had a pay a price to beat someone else (or even Ten) to get Rodgers.

    Slot guy and jet motion dude. I downgraded him, because he's 5' 9". Ran the 40 in 4.45 or 4.49.

    Short arms, explosive twich, super change of direction guy. Can return kicks.

    They want him to be like Deebo.

    Also love the comp to Cobb.

    I think he's like a short version of WR Ty Montgomery, Monty was higher but that's because he was 3" taller, weight per height seems about right.

    And also, ever since we got into this system, I've thought we should bring back Monty, as I think he would of been a good fit for this system, as a large slot WR.

    Which I expect Rodgers to be used as both a slot WR but also like Ervin, in motion stuff.

    I really really like this pick as well.

    Ever since cobb got nicked up and put a few miles on, we have not had a quick little slot guy.

    Spare me the 40 times. The ability to change speeds and be a quick little pain in the neck underneath to a defense is some thing that taller guys just can’t do as well.

    This guy may end up being a security blanket for 12.
