Scouting Notes

Egbuka has been knocked for not having elite size, athleticism, speed and length, which is a funny negative for a player who is easily above average (if not very good) in all of those areas, AND has probably the most polish and skill of the 2024 wide receiver class.

A strong understanding of the wide receiver position in the NFL will give viewers a greater appreciation for Egbuka’s skill set and how seamlessly it should translate to the league. He’s not only a pro in his demeanor, work ethic and IQ, but also in his role at Ohio State. Over the years, Egbuka has produced at every receiver spot, as a ball carrier, chain mover, vertical threat, red zone weapon and more. He’s shown he can do it all at a high level, and I’m not sure why anyone would doubt that he can do it in the NFL too.
