I really don't care what the negative Nancie's on this board think of Atwell.
Love this pick. He's a big time insurance at a very important position if DeSean Jackson flames out and can't stay healthy.
He was not my first choice but I'm excited to have him on board with Woods, Kupp, Van Jefferson and Jackson.
Tutu Atwell, WR, Louisville – NFL Draft Player ProfileHow does speedy Louisville wide receiver Tutu Atwell stack up in a deeply talented wide receiver class in the 2021 NFL Draft?
If speed kills then Louisville wide receiver Chatarius “Tutu” Atwell may well be the most dangerous prospect in the 2021 NFL Draft. He’s gained national attention after appearing in the first round of Daniel Jeremiah’s first mock draft. Nevertheless, how does the speedster stack up in a wide receiver class that is deep with talent?
Positives: Game-breaking skill player with home-run-hitting speed as a receiver and return specialist. Fluid releasing off the line of scrimmage, has a burst of speed that he turns on in a single step and beats opponents downfield in a foot race. Sells routes, uses his frame to shield away defenders, and extends his hands to pull the ball from the air.
Nicely adjusts to the errant throw at full speed and easily makes the downfield reception, looking the ball into his hands. Runs well laterally and easily makes the reception in stride. Lays out for the difficult catch. Plays faster than his 40-yard dash time.
Analysis: Atwell is an undersized yet explosive skill prospect who plays with outstanding speed and quickness. Used in a variety of roles for Louisville, he was effective running reverses and on toss sweeps, and he comes with return ability. Size limitations mean Atwell will be best in the slot or even backed off the line of scrimmage, but his speed and big-play ability are attractive.
