Ourlads' Profile:
2018 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about COURTLAND SUTTON: SMU, 6033 218 4.55. Junior entry and three-year starter from Brenham, TX. A big physical outside receiver who was a first-team all-conference selection last fall. A strong thickly built athlete who can be physically imposing in both the run and pass games. Has average acceleration off the line of scrimmage. Uses strong upper body to beat defenders in press man. Has suddenness on stop routes considering his size. Creates separation downfield with body positioning and strength on routes. Uses effective head nods and route stems to set up defenders. Tracks the ball downfield with great skill and has a highlight reel worth of acrobatic one-handed catches. Good catch radius and strong hands. Contorts his body to dig out low throws and stretches it out for high and away ones. Will go through, around, or over defender to make the play and the catch with savvy adjustments to find the football using strong hand play. Can make the catch in traffic through the contact. Creates good power with the ball in his hands when he has room to run. He was physically dominant of his competition and didn’t have to use good technique to make plays. Doesn’t get his hips down and weight over his feet in and out of breaks. The speed of NFL defensive backs will allow them to sit on his routes consistently. He will have to learn the art and craft of separation through route running to maximize his potential in the league. 2017 stats: 68-1085, 16 ypr, 12 TD. OSR:4/ 45. Second/third round. (A-32 3/8, H-9 3/4, VJ-35.5, SS-4.11).
