Summary

Emeka Egbuka is a very experienced, relatively explosive wideout with quality size for a speedster. His burst off the line and during his route is very noticeable, and he's savvy changing speeds to create separation. He's more linear than super flexible, but there's minimal stiffness to his athletic profile. His top-end long speed seems good, but it's not unbelievable. Egbuka is most impressive off the line and blazing through the intermediate level, running crisp routes. He'll have enough route-running skill to be a quality separator at the next level, yet it won't be a pure specialty. He has enough size to battle through press and bumps at the line, but occasionally it knocks him off kilter. He could stand to get a tick stronger. He tracks the football downfield awesomely in tight spaces and over his shoulder, although he's not really a leaper/rebounder type who'll win in traffic to secure the catch. Overall, his hands are reliable and he doesn't have many drops on film. Despite overall impressive athletic traits, he doesn't provide much by way to juking or contact balance after the catch, but his speed can generate some extra yardage post-catch. Egbuka is a reliable receiver type with WR1 upside.
