Quote:
LaQuon Treadwell
School: Mississippi
Position: WR
Positive: Three-year starter awarded All-American honors last season and all-Conference honors since his freshman campaign. Totals last year included a career-best 82 receptions, 1153 yards and 11 TDs. Strong, game controlling receiver with limited speed. Fluid releasing off the line scrimmage, comes back into the clearing and extends his hands to make the reception away from his frame. Possesses soft and strong hands with the ability to pluck the errant pass from the air, makes the tough catch with defenders draped on him and exposes himself to the big hit in order to come away with the ball. Tracks the pass in the air, displays terrific timing and gets vertical over defenders to win out for the reception. Uses his large frame to shield away opponents, adjusts to the errant throw and consistently wins out in battles. Displays focus, concentration and plays with excellent balance. Works hard to pick up yardage running after the catch. Terrific downfield blocker.
Negative: Average quickness in his game. Lacks a burst and displays limited speed.
Analysis: Treadwell displayed himself to be a consistently dominant, game controlling receiver but has speed and separation limitations. He offers the ability to line up as a number one wide out in an offense that does not require him to run vertical routes.
