02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Aaron Dobson projects best in an offensive scheme that utilizes vertical threats and prioritizes speed on the outside.

X-receiverSplit endBoundary WR
Best role

As a rookie, Dobson can contribute as a deep threat, stretching the field and opening up underneath routes; his ceiling is a legitimate WR1 in a vertical offense.

Wrong fit

A run-heavy, ball-control offense that minimizes downfield passing would negate his primary strengths.

Dobson's combination of size and elite speed makes him a valuable asset in schemes that allow him to run vertical routes and make plays downfield.

04The evaluation

Selected #59 overall in Round 2 of the 2013 NFL Draft by New England Patriots out of Marshall.
