Welcome to the team - QB/WR Tommy Mellott

This is for sure chip Kelly pick he will be a gadget player in a few packages think of a less physical but wayyyy faster taysom hill
 
Love this pick! He was a sleeper QB for me. Great character and speed.
 

Overview​

There have been quarterback-to-receiver conversions in the NFL before and Mellott might be the next in line. He’s been a winner and an extremely productive dual-threat quarterback, but he doesn’t have the size or arm talent needed to continue at that position in the NFL. He’s shifty and fast, which could foreshadow a successful transition if he can prove himself as a route-runner and pass-catcher. Mellott’s impressive pro-day numbers and competitiveness could earn him an opportunity from a team looking for a player who could follow in the footsteps of Julian Edelman, who made the same position transition 16 years ago.

Strengths​

  • Good size/speed combo to make the transition from college QB to pro WR.
  • Showed great speed and explosiveness at his pro day.
  • Loose hips should allow for route-running success.
  • Gets to top speed quickly and can run away from defenders.
  • Has the ability to play in packaged sets as a gadget QB.

Weaknesses​

  • Will need time to learn a new position.
  • Average creativity with the ball in his hands.
  • Lacks touch throwing while on the move.
  • Doesn’t possess enough arm strength to drive the ball into windows.
