Hope that's right, his routes just look like he's gonna have issues with separation.
Then again I thought the same thing about receivers in the past who surprise me

Definitely a contested catch/possession guy as opposed to an instant separation guy

Oh, ****. Look at him chop those feet. Beautiful technique.
He isn't looking great in 1-on-1 pass blocking drills, but those are tough for offensive linemen. Let the big fella get downhill and rough some of the other guys up. After getting walloped a few times I'm guessing they'll have a little less gas to give him trouble off the edge.
Took him forever to come out of that break. Not a great rep.

It's going to be hard for him to create separation with his lack of speed.
He needs to be really crisp on his routes in order to get open. Looks like he has some serious work ahead.

I'm not into "Jump ball" receivers as ive stated many times.
However, Powell DOES do a great job of creating separation at the point of the catch. He seems to have a knack for it.
I don't think he's pigeon holed into "jump ball guy" per se, but i do think he's a guy that will have to run "strong" routes if that makes any sense. Bodying up a guy to gain leverage. Running through bump n run coverage, or just plain running through a guy who's trying to squeeze him, and then creating the separation at the point of the catch.
He's got those seemingly Stretch Armstrong arms.
Kinda reminds me of Chris Chambers in that way. Chris Chambers might be a good pro comp, i'll have to look at that.
