Tony Lippett's size and speed suggest he would be a good fit for a spread passing attack that relies on him making contested catches and creating once he has the ball.
Lippett could immediately contribute as a rotational outside receiver with the potential to develop into a reliable Z or X target, excelling at jump balls and back-shoulder throws.
He would struggle in a timing-based West Coast offense that prioritizes quick, sharp cuts and separation at the top of routes, as his long speed and agility are not his strengths.
His athleticism and catch radius make him a viable downfield threat, but his route running refinement and overall explosiveness need improvement for consistent NFL success.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
