2016 NFL Draft Profile: Jordan Payton of UCLA

Santa Monica, CA

The Upside

A very solid possession receiver, Jordan Payton is the epitome of a chain mover. Gains separation through body position and being more physical than his opponents.

Can drag would be tacklers for a few extra yards after contact and can break through tackles. He has incredibly strong hands and snatches the ball away from his body. Although not a burner, can get behind defenses with his long stride.

Tracks the ball very well over his shoulder. Finds the soft spots in zones but is capable of winning in man coverage.
