| | Player Profile | Limas Sweed - Wide Receiver
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 220 lbs.
College: Texas
|
| Strengths | Big target who catches everything near him with his hands; uses his size well and presents himself to the QB nicely; has consistently improved his route running but it’s still far from being great; long-strider who has a better first step than most guys who fit that bill; great body control which makes him an ideal red zone target; has a good understanding of what the defense is trying to do and how to attack that.
|
| Weaknesses | He is not a very creative runner in the open field but he’ll take a hit and fall forward; not as good a blocker as he should be for his size, but he gets in the way effectively and blocks much better for his fellow WR's than on running plays; does not get consistent separation, especially if he’s headed across the middle; lacks great speed but lacks lateral quickness even more, does not change direction comfortably or run fluidly; has missed most of 2007 with a wrist injury that is not considered long-term; Sweed has the best hands of the big WRs in this draft and he plays faster than the comparably built Dwayne Jarrett.
