Yancey’s 4.48-second 40, 4.24-second 20-Shuttle,
and dazzling 6.84-second 3-Cone time should be
waking the league up late in the pre-draft process.
After all, Purdue hasn’t been a hotbed for
quarterbacking since Drew Brees left.
Based on the tape that I saw, inconsistent
quarterback play factors into why he didn’t catch 50
percent of his targets during his career. While he’s
not as quick-twitch with routes in the short area of
the field as I’d like to see, there’s a lot of promise
with his intermediate and vertical game. At 220
pounds, Yancey is a power receiver with quickness
and that style wins, too.
Yancey is a smart route runner. He works back to his
quarterback, and he'll set up zone routes with good
timing, especially when other teammates are
involved in creating a bind for cornerbacks.
