Ricky White’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Ricky White is a smooth, savvy wide receiver with strong hands and a knack for creating separation. He’s a polished route runner who understands how to manipulate defenders with subtle fakes and timing, especially on intermediate routes. White tracks the ball well and consistently wins at the catch point, even against tight coverage.
His body control and concentration make him a reliable target in clutch situations. While he’s competitive after the catch, he lacks top-tier explosiveness and long speed, which can limit his ability to generate big plays. Adding more burst to his game would make him a more complete threat.
