2) Bryan Anderson, WR, #7, 6'5", 215 lbs, Sr.
Bryan's UB stats are: 8 receptions for 95 yards and 1 td with a long gain of 15 yards. His 5 game totals are 21 receptions for 264 yards averaging 52.8 yards a game. He averages 12.6 yards a catch with a long play of 42 yards and one TD. Brian is usually a split end, but will line up in the slot occasionally. He is a long strider with good but not great speed. He is a big target on slant passes and does a good job of pushing off defenders and running 20 yard comebacks and 10-12 yard hooks. I project his 40 yard dash speed at approximately 4.7. He is a bit awkward and loses his balance after the catch when driving for extra yardage. He is not cat quick but appears to have good initial takeoff using long strides. His feet narrow at times and he stumbles some when being tackled. He is a good stalk blocker and gives excellent effort on his blocks. He will throw his body at defenders. His key asset is his size and he runs excellent patterns. He is definitely a possession receiver and not a deep threat. He reminds me of Joe Jurivicious who played with the Giants, Bucs, Seahawks and Browns. He has good hands, but at times his hand quickness seemed marginal. At times he looks like a waist bender on his blocks. I think that because of his size, durability and his excellent route running he would be a mid round draft choice going between rounds 4 and 6. His overall speed is a factor as only the real quick or fast receivers go high. If he runs well in off-season workouts his stock may rise. He is a good receiver in this offense. He leads the nation in number of games to have caught a pass in a row with 44.
