UDFA Highlights for Selected Players

From NFL Draft Buzz

Scouting Report: Summary​

Baldwin's elite athleticism and game-breaking speed make him an intriguing day-three prospect with the potential to carve out a niche role at the next level. His ability to take the top off defenses and create explosive plays in the passing game will certainly pique the interest of NFL offensive coordinators looking to add a dynamic element to their receiving corps. The Baylor product's surprising play strength and versatility as a gadget player and returner further bolsters his draft stock.

However, Baldwin's slight frame and inconsistent play in traffic raise red flags about his ability to withstand the rigors of a full NFL season as an every-down receiver. His route tree will need expansion, and he must prove he can consistently win against press coverage at the next level. While his athleticism is undeniable, Baldwin will need to refine the nuances of the position to maximize his potential in the pros.

Scheme fit will be crucial for Baldwin's NFL success. He profiles best in a spread offense that can leverage his deep speed and yards-after-catch ability, potentially as a slot receiver or in a role similar to how some teams deploy their undersized speedsters. While his physical limitations may cap his ceiling as an outside receiver, Baldwin's elite speed and playmaking potential could make him a valuable situational weapon and special teams contributor for a creative offensive mind willing to scheme touches for him in space.
