"Lacks size. Not tall and does not possess enough bulk at this time. Needs to add strength to more effectively beat press coverage and battled for the ball in the air. Route running skills could use some refinement. Needs to become more consistent catching the ball in a crowd."
Just about the same weaknesses. Except Shepard might be better route runner out of college.
Another thing I love about Shepard From his NFL.com draft profile.
"Just eight drops with 253 catches and is able to adjust to high, low or behind him for difficult catches. Loves to compete. Willing to jump into a cornerback and get after him as a blocker from slot. Takes pride in his work ethic and scouts say his personal and football character is extremely high."
His tape backs his hype up, he's worthy of a top 50 pick.
