Tony Pauline’s Scouting Report on Bo Melton
Positives: Quick, sure-handed receiver with potential as a return specialist. Smooth, fluid, and sells pass routes. Separates from defenders, tracks the pass in the air, and makes the reception in stride. Effective making the catch on crossing patterns and displays eye/hand coordination as well as focus.
Possesses soft and strong hands to snatch the ball out of the air and make the reception away from his frame. Comes back to the ball and always works to make himself an available target. Plays smart football, shows great awareness on the field, and helps out as a punt returner.
Negatives: Possesses average run-after-the-catch skill. Has a thin frame and struggles in battles. Doesn’t stretch the field like his 40 time would imply.
Analysis: Melton was a consistent receiver for Rutgers, doing the little things well and reliably making the catch when the pass was thrown in his direction. He performed well during all three days of Senior Bowl practices and is a late-round choice who could make a roster as a fifth receiver/punt returner.
