Route Running
Pros:
•Quick cuts and gets out of breaks quick on short routes
•Tempo changes in press releases
•Can find blind spots in the corner well
•Quick one-step cuts
•Good deceleration when breaking at speed
Cons:
•Can telegraph cuts by raising pad level and slowing up
•Doesn’t separate consistently with head fakes or rocker steps
•Uses one-step cuts on deep routes at times, leading to rounded breaks
•Can struggle to separate against physical man coverage while running shorter routes
RAC / YAC Ability
Pros:
•Gets upfield very quick after catch and has good burst
•Good juke moves, but didn’t use them very often
•Also flashed a decent stiff arm at times as well
•Very elusive post catch and can break tackles
Cons:
•Lacks breakaway speed and top gear to truly outrun a defense
•Would like to see him protect the ball better
Athleticism / Frame
Pros:
•Pretty good arm length
•Decent height and weight
•Good catch radius with good jumping ability
Cons:
•Very small hands
•Lacks top-end speed
•Middling 40 (4.54)
Ball Skills
Pros:
•Very solid hands and a natural pass catcher
•Very low drop rate
•Catches consistently through contact and while contested
•Very solid while catching in traffic
•Good at tracking deep balls

Cons:
•None
Game IQ / Processing
Pros:

Agility / Twitch
Pros:
•Good burst and pretty twitchy with the ball in hand
•Good short area quickness, especially out of route breaks
•Shows burst after the catch and in route stems
•Can get skinny when playing more physical coverage
Cons:
•Tries to use one-step cuts at speed too often and rounds breaks and loses momentum
•While he does have decent moves after the catch, he can slow up before them or struggles to do them at speed
Versatility
Pros:
•Has the right size to be a big slot or a smaller wideout
•Versatility to play both positions
•Played a big role as the team's primary punt returner at the beginning of the season
Cons:
•Didn’t get motioned too much
•Limited route tree (go routes, posts, and stops)

Ideal Situation:
•Harrison Wallace III was a top option in the Ole Miss receiving room, leading the team in both receptions and yards. He spent the majority of his time as a wideout in the offense, but projects as a slot in the NFL due to his ability to catch over the middle and work in space. He shows he has good hands at all levels of the field and can catch through contact and in contested situations as well. While he has good burst, he lacks top-end speed to outrun DBs after the catch. He shows he can break tackles and make people miss post-catch, but struggles to make moves and make defenders miss at speed. His route tree was pretty limited in college, but he flashed the ability to be a quick route runner at the first two levels. He is a one-step cut kind of receiver, which can make him make round cuts when he is running deep routes. He isn’t a big contributor in the run game and doesn’t show great effort in blocking. The Arizona Cardinals picked him up as an undrafted free agent, and this is an A-. The receiving room outside Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson is unproven, which gives him the opportunity to move up. And with his reliable hands and special teams experience, I think he could definitely move up the depth chart and make the roster as an undrafted free agent. With that being said, his lackluster run blocking, combined with being in a middling speed tier, means he lacks the traits to be a true starter but can definitely be mixed into the lineup.
