What NFL Draft analysts are saying about Beaux Collins

During his time at Clemson, Beaux Collins struggled with drops, and that was a concern for NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein. However, Collins has the physical traits to be intriguing for NFL teams, which is why Zierlein thought someone could take a chance on him.

“Inconsistent wideout with good size and play strength but a lack of quality production,” Zierlein wrote. “Collins looks the part physically and plays like a well-schooled receiver. He has average vertical speed and runs first- and second-level routes with adequate cut quickness.

“He lacks trustworthy hands and is inconsistent in becoming catch-ready on anticipation throws but plays to his size when contested. Durability issues, poor hands and a lack of high-level production might be enough for some teams to write him off, but he has enough talent for a look in camp.”
