MILTON WYNN

#1-MILTON WYNN Washington State University Cougars 6:02.3-207

ANALYSIS
Positives... Well-proportioned athlete with long arms and limber legs...Comes off the line of scrimmage with sudden explosiveness, showing a quick stride through his cuts...Uses his hands well to escape the press coverage to get into his routes...Has a knack for finding the open area in the zone...Gains separation with his sharp stop-&-go action and the ability to easily uncover the ball on short routes...Makes proper body adjustments tracking the ball in flight, extending his arms properly to catch away from the framework of his body...Very physical going for the ball in tight quarters...Quick to turn upfield after the catch, displaying balance and effort in his stride.

Negatives... Needs to show better sideline awareness, as he tends to struggle keeping his feet inbounds...Struggles at times to adjust to the off-target passes...Has to secure the ball better before turning upfield after the catch...Despite his size, he seems hesitant to stalk and position to make blocks on linebackers in run support...Has to get more aggressive with his hands to prevent the initial tackler from making the hit at the point of the catch.

CAREER NOTES
Had a breakout year for the Cougars in 2000, but failed in his attempt with the NCAA to be granted an additional year of eligibility...Began his ciollegiate career at Bakersfield Junior College in 1996, transferring to Los Angeles Valley College the following year, where he competed in only track during the 1997 campaign..Joined that school's football squad the following year...A serious finger injury wiped out his first season at Washington State (1999), but he made up for lost time by leading the Cougars in receiving in 2000...Finished his WSU career with 55 receptions for 984 yards (17.9 avg) and five touchdowns.

REMIND ME OF... Detroit's Germane Crowell.

GAZING INTO THE CRYSTAL BALL... This is a kid that could be a steal in the second or third round. He has that attitude when the game is on the line that a quarterback would be comfortable making his primary target.
