You would think he was an End or even a LB with the numbers he put up and his is nearly 300 pounds.

It is a cool name too though.


Some guys are just faster on the field than their forty numbers. Lassiter could be this type of player. 

Sure looks fast out there to me in the little clips I saw and everybody seemed to be raving at him at rookie, voluntary 
and Mandatory OTA's. Just the spot where we need a guy of his skillset, we will see if he keeps it up in Training Camp.


He looked really big and overweight when I watched him in the regular season last year. Just needs to stay in shape.

True, but I didn't notice him being overly fast either on the clips I've seen.
The scouting reports I've seen on him that mention the average speed/athleticism I'm assuming they also determined from the film, or at least cross-referenced that with his testing numbers.

FWIW, here are his testing numbers - https://ras.football/ras-information/?PlayerID=21515
Overall - 4.54 (poor)
Height - 5'10.875" (3/10 - poor)
Weight - 185 (2.82/10 - poor)
Vert - 33.5 (4.33/10 - poor)
Broad - 10.0' (5.8/10 - average)
40 - 4.52 (6.85/10 - average)
10 split - 1.62 (3.87/10 - poor)
shuttle - 4.23 (6.47/10 - average)
3-cone - 7.32 (1.64/10 - poor)

Is it possible myself and others saw the testing first and then went to the film and had a jaded opinion of the film because we knew the testing beforehand? Possibly.
But even going back I don't see above average speed and athleticism for a NFL WR.
I see a guy who can be solid and make some plays, which does have value.
I could see him being similar to Alex Erickson, who has shown he can put up 500+ yards if given enough opportunities. That might be ok for a WR4.
We'll have to see.
