Draft Scouting Report
Rating: 68.24 (Practice squad)
Pro Comparison: Miles Boykin
Summary
Da’Quan Felton is a tall, long-limbed boundary receiver with flashes of ball-winning ability and enough straight-line speed to challenge vertically at times. While he shows some throttle control and route nuance for a bigger target, his stiffness and lack of suddenness limit his separation. Felton plays with confidence at the catch point but struggles with focus drops, making his hands a concern. He offers some physicality after the catch but isn’t elusive in space. Felton projects as a developmental outside receiver with size-based appeal but a limited athletic ceiling.
