| Professional Scouting Report | Reminds me a great deal of Michael Irvin, who made up for a lack of blazing speed with intensity, physicality, and superb hands and body control. Nicks also has the Irvin bravado and swagger, minus the self-employed models and cocaine.
|
| Strengths | Thickly-built with very large hands for his height, and he knows how to use them properly. Very physical receiver who is near impossible to jam and knows all the subtle tricks to use his hands to get separation. Catches anything near him, looks the ball into his hands every time. Thrived as part of a very talented receiver package, which indicates he understands the team dynamic and can share the spotlight. Very good feet along the sidelines and in the red zone. Will go across the middle and make catches in traffic.
|
| Weaknesses | Does not have great top-end speed, and he lacks the extra gear to chase down a long throw. Not as strong a blocker as you would think for such a physical presence. Will drift outside instead of shooting straight up the field on longer routes. Not real elusive as a ball carrier, but does break tackles with his strong lower body. Can get caught up in verbal battles and trash talking, and Nicks is one of those players who needs an edginess to thrive.
