Sasser had a career-high 77 receptions for 1,003 yards and 12 touchdowns receiving in 2014.
Pro Day Results
40-yard dash: 4.53 and 4.57 seconds
Vertical jump: 34 1/2 inches
Broad jump: 10 1/2 feet
Short shuttle: 4.31 seconds
3-cone: 6.86 seconds
Bench: 18 reps
Analysis
Strengths
Stepped his production up after departure of Dorial Green-Beckham finishing with 77 catches including 12 for touchdowns. Bigbodied receiver who was able to cause matchup problems when allowed to play from slot. Average athlete, but plays with plus body control and has outstanding ball tracking and focus skills when ball is in the air. Doesnt need much of a window to haul in the throws. Hands catcher with desired arm extension at catch point. Can be a handful in the red zone.
Weaknesses
Stays glued to press coverage. Doesnt have foot quickness or twitch to consistently escape long-armed corners who sit on his release from outside. Missing long speed. Doesn't create many yards after the catch. Allows defender to crowd him against sideline too often. Despite size, doesn't go up over cornerbacks as much as expected. Needs to work back to scrambling QB rather than become spectator.
Draft Projection
Round 7 or priority free agent
Bottom Line
Will be hard to get excited about a receiver who lacks deep speed and has a hard time getting a clean release against press coverage, but his body control, ball skills and poise give him a shot to make it in the league. Sasser's best shot might come with a team looking for size in the slot or as a zone beating possession receiver.
