Pros

• Takeoff
  Explodes off the ball with effortless acceleration and deep speed that can flip the field
• Fluidity
  Effortless agility and movement skills. Everything is silky smooth and done in one motion.
• Release Patterns
  Quick yet technical release protocol that allows him to win off the line vs press-man

Cons

• Catch Radius
  Shows an inability to adjust to throws away from his torso. Needs the ball to catch him
• Size
  Small and slight leaving his projection limited beyond a slot WR used to create matchup advantages
• Play Strength
  Struggles to break arm tackles or allocate additional yards once first contact is made. Can be jammed off the ball against press

Eval:

Cowing presents an effortless ability to stretch the field while also being useful in between the hashes with fluid movements as a ball carrier

His lack of height and weight will scare many teams off even if his testing will be great athletically, as he’s relatively limited in alignment and skillset versatility.

If drafted by a team that deploys plenty of 11 or even 10 personnel, Cowing can be a matchup problem as a dynamic weapon out of the slot, using speed and agility to create mismatches with linebackers and safeties.

Floor Comp: Marquise Godwin

Inconsistent on a down-to-down basis but is reliable in downfield opportunities

Ceiling Comp: Khalil Shakir

Can stretch seams from the slot and work to create advantageous matchups for the offense
