Tre Tucker is a slot receiver exclusively at the next level who can serve as a special teams returner if he can’t immediately get on the field on offense. The downside to Tucker is that he really hasn’t played a lot of football – just over 1000 career snaps over the last four years. The real issue is that while Tucker has speed, he may be limited to underneath work and special teams – if he can get on the field early.

Tre Tucker scouting notes

Pros:

• Very solid speed and quickness. Made Bruce Feldman’s freaks list this year due to his speed. 
• Changes direction crisply and with little effort. 
• Very solid body control. 
• Acceleration looks pretty good. 
• Fairly crisp through his routes. Ran a good, extended route tree at Cincinnati.
• Solid receiver. Good pair of hands. 
• Fairly consistent receiver. Suffered just 10 drops through his career (8.1%). 
• Flashes the ability to make catches through contact. 
• Tucker does a solid job picking his way through traffic and finding little creases of space among defenders. 
• Good contact balance after the catch. 

Cons:

• Has a decent release, didn’t often see press. 
• Not so much of a deep threat. Struggles to track the ball efficiently. 
• Not going to be an efficient target in the end zone just due to his lack of size.
• Didn’t play much football, just over 1000 career snaps.
