A prospect who has flashed skill the past three years, Figurs is a third receiver at the next level whose real value will be as a punt returner.


Biography:

Former junior college transfer who started the past three seasons. All-Conference selection after pass catching numbers of 28/418/3 last year. Also averaged 14.7 yards on 22 punt returns, bringing two back for scores. Posted a career-best 31 receptions and 483 yards receiving as a sophomore.

Pos:

Swift, elusive ball handler who affects the game as a return specialist or wide receiver. Intelligent football player who knows where he is on the field. Sharp route-runner who stays low exiting breaks and gets separation from defenders. Adjusts to the errant throw and gets vertical for the difficult reception. Consistently gets into the clearing and makes himself an available target. Makes the reception in stride downfield.

Neg:

More quick than fast, and does not play to his times speed. Lacks strength at the point, gets minimal results as a blocker and loses out in battles. Unnecessarily lets the pass get inside him.
