Malachi Fields

Player Summary

Fields is a big body receiver who brings elite size and strength as well as an innate high point abiltiy to leap, adjust, and bring the ball in with very strong hands. His large frame and history of circus grabs will make him a valuable safety blanket for QBs. He lacks the burst, speed, and route running ability to create consistent seperation however. His size does still allow him to be a threat after the catch becasue of the difficulty in bringing him down. He contributes meaningfully in the run game as a blocker, and was well-ultiized in the Notre Dame offense in that capacity. Most commentary indicates his prolific success in contested catch scenarios, but PFF grades indicate otherwise. May be worth more investigation. Overall, this is a late day two, early day three pick that can be a solid WR3 with time.
