02Scheme fit
Ideal system

A play-action based, ball-control offense that heavily integrates tight ends and emphasizes play-makers in space.

Boundary X-receiverBig slotRed-zone threat
Best role

Year 1 red-zone and contested catch specialist, with a ceiling as a reliable chain-moving WR1.

Wrong fit

An Air Raid or spread RPO system that would struggle to fully utilize his contested-catch ability and physical style.

London's size, strength, and contested-catch ability make him a perfect fit for a run-heavy, play-action oriented offense that values physical receivers.

04The evaluation

Selected #8 overall in Round 1 of the 2022 NFL Draft by Atlanta Falcons out of USC.
