Devontez Walker Summary:

The Positives

  • Ideal X Receiver Size

The Negatives

  • Route tree is very limited
  • Very raw

Tez Walker is a big riser in the 2024 NFL draft, and based on upside I can see why. He has an elite size speed combo with the frame to put on a little more muscle and be in the mold of a Treylon Burks. However, much like Burks, he is incredibly raw in his route running. Even at UNC he was not asked to do a diverse route tree except for curls, go routes, and flats. He is fast enough to outrun the defense and strong enough to fight through tackles, but needs more development than most other receivers in this class. Whether he struggles to get going or is ahead of schedule likely has to do with what team drafts him.
