Kuntz, Trice, Vorhees, punter. Maybe Iosivas or Bell.

Quote:STRENGTHS: Accomplished track athlete with elite long speed that translates to the football field (his combine numbers didn’t disappoint) … does a nice job using hesitation or double moves to help him win vertically … tracks the ball well and frames his hands at the catch point … shows terrific upper body control to high-point and make mid-air adjustments … able to create late separation with subtle push-offs … effective on swing passes or crossers designed to give him a runway … flashes strength in his hands to make fingertip grabs away from his frame … named a senior captain … impressively managed a full academic workload in the Ivy League as well as full-time training for two different sports … finished top 10 in the FCS in receiving yards per game (94.3) in 2022.

WEAKNESSES: More speedy than sudden … average short-area quickness and struggles to consistently sink and separate at the top of routes … inconsistent route pacing and underdeveloped working underneath … below-average play strength … hears footsteps over the middle, which disrupts his focus … braces for contact instead of lowering his pads and looking to break through (NFL scout: “I’m just not sold that he is tough enough at our level.”) … gets pushed around and as a perimeter blocker … guilty of relying on his body to finish catches at times … missed the 2022 NCAA outdoor track championships because of foot surgery (spring 2022) … never faced FBS competition in college, with mixed results during Senior Bowl week.

SUMMARY: A two-year starter at Princeton, Iosivas was an outside wide receiver in offensive coordinator Mike Willis’ scheme, lining up primarily to the left of the formation. A multi-sport athlete in college, he had an impressive 2022 calendar year as an All-American and Ivy League MVP in track (set the league record in the heptathlon) followed by leading the Ivy League in receiving as a senior and earning All-American status on the football field. Iosivas is an impressive linear athlete with the leaping and adjustment skills to make catches over defensive backs. Training year-round for two sports his entire life, he has interesting upside once he can focus his body and mind as a football-only athlete. Overall, Iosivas has the long speed and body control worth developing, but he is currently limited and requires a patient coaching staff while he adds branches to his route tree and learns how to be a more complete receiver. Though he is a project for an NFL team, he can add a vertical element for an offense while he develops at the bottom of the wide receiver depth chart.
