Kevin Austin Jr. , WR, Notre Dame

Dude has shot up boards during this process and I wouldn’t be against taking him in the 4th if he’s there.

#2 #RAS WR 2022

Kevin Austin is a WR prospect in the 2022 draft class. He scored a 9.94 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 18 out of 2768 WR from 1987 to 2022. https://t.co/yQ5IiryhM1 #RAS pic.twitter.com/wA3RvnRumQ

Definitely a guy that's worth a mid-round pick.

OK, now whats wrong with him?

How does he go in the 4th? Seems like crazy measurable s, can he catch?

Watched the video, good find!

I know its a highlight video but he appears to be able to do it all.

I would be very happy with this guy! Would be a GREAT pick in the 4th.

I still dont see how he would last until the 4th?

Almost assuredly he's there. He missed 2019 for violating team rules and there are, apparently, maturity problems beyond that. He missed 2020 due to foot surgeries. He's raw. Having a great RAS doesn't mean he's worth taking high. He needs coaching up. Could be a guy that develops quickly though if he matures, he's got tools. I wouldn't mind a flyer on him.

I guess we look at totally different traits when evaluating wrs. When you watch that tape, does he create separation? Is the defender within a step? When he catches the ball does he leave the defender like he hit the nitros button? Same with breaks, when the wr makes a cut in his route is the acceleration and separation obvious? Mahomes is a qb that loves throwing to targets that create separation. That’s why numbers or RAS scores can be deceiving. What a player does in a straight line may not be a good indicator of his ability to create separation.
