Greg Ellingson of Florida InterNational ~ 6.4/195
"A tall, lean target who lacks ideal girth and power in all areas of the game. Isn't real shifty off the line, takes too long to get up to full speed and isn't a guy who has the kind of second gear to get behind NFL defenders. Is at his best when asked to find soft spots underneath, settle down in coverage and work the middle of the field. Isn't dynamic after the catch, but has the savvy and body control to side step a defender and quickly get up field. But isn't going to be much of a threat with the ball in his hands. Lets too many throws get into his body. Would like to see him do a better job plucking the football off his frame on all areas of the field.
Is a savvy route runner. Doesn't generate much explosion out of his breaks and has a tendency to round his routes off a bit when trying to get out of his vertical breaks. But sells his sharply breaking routes well, keeps his feet under him and doesn't waste much motion for such a leggy guy. Does a nice job getting out of his breaks, using his frame to box defenders away from the ball and making the play. Isn't a guy who will ever generate a ton of separation for himself, but knows how to create enough to make a play on the football vs. man.
Impression: He's a smart, savvy wideout with good size, but is very average as an athlete. Best case is he makes a roster as a low-end No. 5 or 6 guy, but lacks much upside. A free agent only you bring to camp, but will have a tough time making a final 53."

"Bio: Used as part of the starting rotation the past three seasons, most recently posting 43/612/15 as a senior after junior totals of 34/528/4.
Positive: Adequately sized possession receiver with reliable hands. Uses his frame to shield away defenders, displays good eye/hand coordination, and will expose himself to the big hit in order to come away with the ball. Comes back to passes out of breaks, effectively makes the over-the-shoulder catch downfield, and easily adjusts to errant throws to make the reception in stride. Settles into open spots on the field, extends his hands, and offers the quarterback a nice target.
Negative: Lacks a quick release off the line and does not have a second gear or the ability to stretch the field vertically. Occasionally struggles in battles.
Analysis: Ellingson was productive on the college level and will get consideration as a fifth receiver in the NFL primarily used to run underneath routes."

"Overview: March 3 Pro Day results:
39.5" VJ; 10' 3" BJ; 4 x 225 BP; 4.28 SS; 6.75 3-cone
Strengths: Tall and rangy with excellent speed and decent hands. Pretty crafty. Well under the radar guy who can make the tough catch in traffic. Has great triangle numbers and works pretty hard at his craft. Young with lots of upside left. Played well against decent competition in college.
Weaknesses: Needs to bulk up considerably. Only 4 reps on bench press suggest weak upper body. Not a route runner yet. Not a good cold weather prospect. Needs refinement in many areas. Looks like a career #3 and possession guy.
Projection: 7th-priority UDFA"
