02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Colts operated a spread RPO and vertical passing attack, prioritizing speed and playmaking abilities from their receivers.

Z-receiverSlot receiverMotion-man
Best role

Immediate impact as a deep threat and YAC specialist, with a ceiling as a reliable starting receiver capable of stretching the field.

Wrong fit

A run-heavy, pro-style offense that relies on possession receivers and extensive blocking duties.

Dorsett's elite straight-line speed is a natural fit for schemes that aim to create explosive plays and stress defenses vertically.

04The evaluation

Selected #29 overall in Round 1 of the 2015 NFL Draft by Indianapolis Colts out of Miami (FL).
