Scouting profile: Isaiah Likely
| School | Height | Weight | 40 time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coastal Carolina | 6'4 | 245 | 4.82 |
Likely is an exciting prospect who showed game-breaking ability as a downfield threat. He's quick in his routes and has strong hands that help him regularly high-point the ball over defenders. Some may question his top speed after he posted a 4.83-second 40-yard dash time at his pro day, but he doesn't look slow in games - though he did play against a lower level of competition. Likely still needs to work on his body and maybe add some bulk to help withstand the rigors of the NFL, but he's one of the most intriguing pass-catching tight end prospects 2022 has to offer.
