Ourlads' Profile:

2021 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about GARY BRIGHTWELL: Arizona, 5106 218 4.62. One-plus year starter, Chester, PA. Earned Honorable Mention All- Pac 12 honors in 2020. He put himself on the radar in 2019 when he led the team in yards per attempt at 5.9. The shortened 2020 season limited his exposure as a senior and kept a few questions unanswered. Checks a lot of boxes when it comes to size, speed, and aggression. He is a no-nonsense slasher who will take advantage of every crease that comes before him. His issues revolve around skill set more so than tools. He may need some extra fine tuning and time, but he has an upside most simply do not have that go on day three. Big and physical downhill runner who uses his speed and burst to increase his already-strong presence against oncoming defenders. Will flip the switch and be at his top speed in a hurry. Shows no hesitation, no fear. Can make sharp, assertive cuts while moving at full speed. Has some reckless abandon to his game but shows ability to adjust. Unpredictable runner for defenders to deal with. Will get away from defenders in space. Significant ball security issues. 2020 stats: 390 yds, 4.4 ypc, 1 TD, 13 rec, 53 yds, 4.1 ypr. Sixth/seventh round. (A-31, H-9 3/8, BP-17, SS-4.48).
