Overview:
Egbuka enters the 2024 season as a holdover from last year's loaded receiver class. After what was a disappointing 2023 campaign, the talented prospect will attempt to redeem himself.
Egbuka has no lack of production as he has totaled over 1600 yards and 14 touchdowns over the last two seasons while sharing the field with NFL caliber talents.
Expect a bounce back year for the Ohio State product and a reminder as to how talented he is.
Strengths:
Shifty route runner that creates separation with good technique.
Elusive after the catch.
Stronger than he looks, routinely outmuscles defenders on contested catches.
Above average run blocker.
Make life tough for defenders who want to tackle him with his physicality.
Longer than normal arms giving him a larger catch radius than his size would indicate.
Weaknesses:
Body catches more than one would prefer.
Lacks second gear to beat man coverage despite his athletic profile.
Has an issue with concentration drops.
