Positives
+ Change of Direction to go along with his elite speed is unfair to the defenders covering him
+ Speed in high school was clocked at 4.33
+Excellent hand/eye coordination
+ Can run all routes and does so seamlessly
Weaknesses
Not many weaknesses, but at times tends to become lazy on some routes
Not the greatest blocker, but he is a willing participant
Overall
Jahan Dotson has sort of been under the radar as he is not as talked about as the other star receivers in the draft. Chris Snyder of Sportsvival was shocked that Dotson was not a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award. Dotson has first round talent and after the combine should solidify himself as such. A Tyreek Hill comparison that will have NFL coaches drooling.
