Ourlads' Profile:
2019 Guide: What Ourlads' Scouting Services said about EMMANUEL BUTLER: Northern Arizona, 6031 217 4.55. Fifth year senior from Phoenix, AZ. Three year starter that missed most of 2017 with a shoulder injury. Two-time All-American and the all time receiving and touchdown leader at Northern Arizona. He put himself on the national radar in 2015 and 2016, but the injury and a lackluster 2018 season brought him back down to earth. When looking at the traits he possesses paired with his body and intangibles, he screams value late in the draft. Checks a lot of boxes and once he can get into an NFL environment with NFL coaching and training, his play on the field could potentially rival some of the best receivers in the class. Desirable frame with tremendous reach and length along with big hands that swallow the ball. Shows immediate control upon contact with the pass, strong mitts. Snares the ball and shows no hesitation or double catch. Effective in 50/50 situations with his ability to time his leaps well and accurately pursue the ball. Tracks the deep ball exceptionally well. Physical, try-hard receiver. Lacked variety as a route runner. Has plenty of work ahead of him when it comes to subtle nuances to the position. May struggle to get open underneath. Acceleration is a notch or two too slow. 2018 stats: 35-676, 19.3 ypr, 7 TD. No running at Combine, his choice. Sixth/seventh round. (A-33, H-10 1/8, VJ-36, SS-4.22).
