Overview​

Flournoy offers size and football character that is pro-caliber but has areas where he must improve. Against off-man, Flournoy utilizes his size and ball skills to stack catches. Against press, however, he can be tardy off the release and becomes reliant on physicality over route acumen to create throwing windows for his quarterback. The route running is undisciplined but can be sharpened with work. The lack of suddenness could hold him back against tight man coverage, though. Flournoy had some memorable reps at the Senior Bowl, which could make him a Day 3 pick with a shot at a roster spot.

Strengths​

  • Possesses size and physique of an NFL target.
  • Commitment to vertical push in drive phase of the route.
  • Works back into top positioning on throws underneath.
  • Catches with sudden, sticky hands and has a feel for congestion around him.
  • Elusive and physical with the ball in his hands.
  • Head coach raves about coachability and team-first mentality.

Weaknesses​

  • Hit-or-miss eluding physical press coverage in his release.
  • Routes tend to be unfocused at times.
  • Footwork can become clunky getting into intermediate breaks.
  • Lacks knee bend and suddenness to create consistent separation.

Most of these weaknesses seem like coachable issues.

If he can’t get separation, he’s of no use to Dak
He has lots of speed but can't get off of press coverage. Put him in motion and that will take the press CB issue out of the issue. He can flat out run and jump and has great hands. He is pretty darn strong for a eide out.

His college highlight reel leaves a lot to be desired. Could have gotten him UDFA not sure why you draft him. Would have gotten Rice or Gore Jr./Dillon Johnson

Realistically cannon fodder but good luck to him in his future endeavors outside football.
