Analysis

(2023)

Overview

Michael Jordan is a big, long wideout specializing in downfield jump-ball victories. He’s a high-riser with an above-average wingspan, but he rarely slips past press coverage easily and fails to separate like he should relative to the blazing speed he showed at the NFL Scouting Combine. He’s a raw route runner with tight hips and a lack of attention to detail that allows defenders to anticipate breaks and contest his catches on a regular basis. Ford-Wheaton has the size and hand strength to post victories on 50-50 throws, but he will need to prove he can consistently play to his athletic ability.

Strengths

• Big frame with plus wingspan.
• Good physicality at the top of the route.
• Uses frame to shield and catch through contact.
• Uses hand fighting to free himself for late separation.
• Jump-ball specialist with strong hands and focus.
• Length to reach high outside the frame and bring it in.
  

Weaknes

• Had just three 100-yard games over three seasons.
• Lacks the functional foot quickness to slip press coverage unscathed.
• Fails to gain much separation at the stem.
• Rounded routes allow cornerbacks to undercut throws.
• His route tree had very few limbs on it.
