Has been both an inside and outside receiver over the last two seasons, but might lack the speed and strength to make a living outside at the pro level. Despite average foot quickness, St. Brown will vary his press release and displays polish as a route-runner from the slot. He's unlikely to gain consistent vertical separation but has above-average tracking talent and body control to improve his chances for success. His focus drops underneath are a concern and his run blocking can be woeful at times. There is nothing dazzling about his athletic profile or overall game, but he's a solid football player with a chance to become a starting slot in the future.
Vaughn was never an explosive, top-tier wideout in the conference, but "steady" is a very accurate term for him. He's a long-bodied leaper with excellent timing and body control in mid-air. His lack of muscle mass and hand strength robbed him of hauling in a higher percentage of contested catches. The speed is just OK and the short-area separation is below par, so NFL man coverage will stay tight to him. The ball skills are fun to watch, but he'll need to improve his play strength and run cleaner routes to hang on as an NFL backup.
