Adoree’ Jackson
The fastest player on the field has four interceptions and is in the top 10 nationally in returning punts and kickoffs. USC lists him at 5 feet 11, 185 pounds.
Scout 1: “He’s an instant-impact guy in the NFL as a kick returner, and I’ve even heard some scouts talk about him as a receiver, which I can see. … I wouldn’t be shocked if he went in the first round, but he’s more of a second-round player.”
Scout 2: “He may struggle against a bigger receiver, get pushed off a route or bounce off a tackle. You don’t like to draft a small corner in the first round unless they’re really dynamic. This guy may be. He’s pretty damn good.”
Scout 3: “As fast as he is, people just have a way of getting behind him for some reason, so I think there’s a ceiling as a defensive player.”
Takkarist McKinley
Among these scouts, this is UCLA’s most intriguing prospect. Even though he played sparingly in the first three games while recovering from a groin injury, he has 18 tackles for loss with 10 sacks.
Scout 1: “He’s strong off the edge and has great length. … He stays on blocks a little bit, but if he beats you with his first-step quickness he’s in the backfield all the time.”
Scout 2: “Love the motor, love the range, love the violence. He’ll be a first- or second-rounder. He needs to develop a better pass-rush arsenal.”
Scout 3: “Seems like every week he makes more plays and has more of an impact.”
JuJu Smith-Schuster
He has 51 catches for 682 yards and eight touchdowns, well off the 89 catches for 1,454 yards he made for USC last season. Still, scouts are bullish on his NFL future.
Scout 1: “Really good hands, physical in his routes. I do question the top-end speed a little bit, but I think he’s fast enough.”
Scout 2: “He has enough speed to get on top of you at the college level, and he can separate underneath. I think he’s a late first-, second-round type.”
Scout 3: “He was clearly frustrated early in the year, but as soon as [the Trojans] hit their stride, he’s been a totally different player, playing with confidence, finishing routes, making tough catches, things he wasn’t doing in September.”
