Germie Bernard Scouting Report
Germie Bernard is an alignment-versatile receiver who wins in the short and intermediate portions of the field, utilizing his IQ, route running, and natural hands.
Draft Grade: Round 3 - Adequate Starter
Strengths:
Alignment Versatility:Bernard can align at any of the receiver positions and in the backfield.
Hands:Bernard showcases strong hands to catch the ball away from his body and in high-traffic areas.
Football IQ: Bernard has an in-depth understanding of how to get open, especially against zone defenders, by quickly identifying coverage and finding openings and creases in the defense.
Concerns:
Top-End Speed:Bernard lacks the elite-level speed to separate from defenders consistently on vertical routes.
Elusiveness: After the catch, Bernard appears to be more of a straight-line runner who can run through arm tackles, but lacks the lateral agility to make defenders miss in tight, condensed spaces.
