The conundrum with Kelvin Benjamin’s tenure in Carolina was he was a big wide receiver who didn’t always play like one. He would often times make an incredible catch over multiple defenders, but then fail to position his body correctly against a short corner.
When I evaluate bigger wide receivers, it’s important for them to show consistency at the catch point. I’m not expecting them to become elite route runners and display routine separation ability. For that reason, Northern Iowa wide receiver Daurice Fountain has been appealing early in the draft process.
Fountain was selected to compete at the East-West Shrine game this week.
