Overview

Wolfe is a good college wide receiver who has excellent receiving skills and knows how to set defenders up and read coverages to find the soft spots in zones. He enjoyed a ton of success at UNLV, and coaches will love the way he can come in and understand the passing game at the next level. Unfortunately, it will be hard to overcome his lack of top-end speed, as well as his lack of explosiveness and quickness to separate from good man coverage.

Analysis

Strengths

Wolfe has good height and a strong thick build. Heady player who shows the ability to read coverages, find holes in zones and keep the chains moving. Comfortable going across the middle and has the body control to make catches in traffic. Sure-handed receiver who caught a lot of passes in college.

Weaknesses

Does not have the top-end speed to stretch the field and make big plays at the next level. Lacks the burst in transition to consistently separate in man coverage. Limited foot speed makes it difficult for him to gain yards after the catch. He averaged only 10.3 yards a catch during his senior season.
