Preseason Scouting Report by Dylan Price

Created August 24, 2021

Projection: 1st Round
Notes:

(+) Natural Athlete London is a rarity, he is a star receiver with a bright future on the gridiron. However, his playmaking skills extend to the basketball court too as he’s a do it all guard for the trojans. Although he’s produced more and played more on the gridiron, he did average a double double in high school basketball, so he’s no slouch.

(+) Playmaking Ability London is an electric piece to the Trojan offense. he’s a firecracker who gets the ball in his hands and just goes. He reminds me a lot of Brandon Aiyuk and their play styles are relatively similar. He averaged 15.2 yards per catch last season, and that number should only grow this season as USC looks to establish more continuity on offense, and he garners a larger role.

(+) Finds A Way The Moorpark HS product isn’t the most explosive guy or crispest route runner, but he consistently finds ways to exploit gaps in coverage and create separation. Although more advancement in his route tree is desired (I’ll touch on that in a second), he still finds a way to make things happen, even though his technique may be limited in some facets.Three

(-) Blocking There were a handful of glaring plays in which London looked effortless in blocking. He tended to give up easily and almost not take it too seriously. Although it didn’t come back to bite the Trojans, that’s something that will not fly in the NFL.

(-) Route Running London runs a basic route tree, and lacks crispness or efficiency in his movements. As I noted earlier he gains separation, but he needs to develop as a route runner otherwise he will struggle against tougher competition.

(-) Awareness In general, it does feel as though London lacks awareness at points. His deficiencies all stem from that and it’s something that’s evident on tape. He can struggle to find holes at points in more sophisticated coverages, and in blocking he often demonstrates his lack of awareness as well.
