Chris Owusu Scouting Report WR Stanford Cardinal

This is our Chris Owusu scouting report. Owusu is one of Andrew Luck’s best wide receiver weapons in 2011, but unfortunately for Owusu he has a history of concussions which might really hurt his draft stock.Three in the last year and halfish.

Stats:

2011:

2o1o:

Pros:

His best asset his ability to create yards after the catch…Good size…versatile, does a little bit of running can return kicks…good vision with the ball in his hands…gets up to top speed quickly a can create some separation down the field…does a good job against press coverage…catches the ball well…showed off much better straight line speed than I thought he had

Cons:

Drability..even though he runs pretty good routes he doesn’t have the kind of quickness and fluid hips to create separation in short to intermediate routes

Round Projection:

7th to undrafted free agent

Owusu is better than a sixth round prospect, but I think he’s going to get hurt by Jahvid Best. How so? Best came into the draft with questions about his concussions, but still was drafted high. Now, the Lions have lost Best for a long time period for concussion. With the crack down on concussions I think it could really hurt his stock.

Thoughts:

Owusu is really a solid prospect. He protects the football well, he does a good, not great job of creating separation and getting open. He is at his best once he catches the football, he does a really good of creating yards after the catch and has really good vision with the ball in his hands His problem is the history of concussions. You have to feel bad for the guy and I wish him all the luck. Hopefully he can get over this issue stay healthy and have a pretty productive N.F.L. career.

NFL Mocks Preseason Bio:

Missed six games due to injury in 2010, but is still one of the top playmakers in the Stanford offensive attack. Lanky receiver with solid speed and playmaking ability. What Owusu brings to the table is versatility. He has very good speed, and is one of the better kick returners possibly available in the 2012 NFL Draft. He has good vision with the ball in his hands, and his best game of the season came against Arizona. He showed as a sophomore in 2009 what kind of player he could be, and I think he will show in 2011 that he is one of the top playmakers in the Pac 12.
