PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT

Downs has experience lining up both inside and outside, which adds to his versatility as a receiver. He can be effective in the slot, where his quickness and route-running ability can create mismatches against slower defenders. He can also play on the outside, where his speed and ability to stretch the field can open up opportunities for other receivers.

CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS

Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64)
A solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits. While they show flashes of high-level play, they also have some notable weaknesses that must be developed. These players often need 2-3 years to establish themselves.
