What the analysts are saying

• "One-year wonder with the requisite height, weight, and speed numbers to interest teams looking for a plus athlete to develop. While Fountain should test well, his route running and ball skills aren't where they need to be and the jump in competition will make that transition challenging." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "At the East-West Shrine, Fountain was the star of the East practice with impressive performances in all three practices. He had scouts buzzing across the league ... Fountain was very good in 1-on-1s, showing the quickness, body control, and route-running to get separation from the cornerbacks." - Charlie Campbell, Walter Football
