2011 NFL Draft Player Profile | Leonard Hankerson 

2011 NFL Draft
Drafted by Redskins 
Leonard Hankerson burst on the scene during his junior season with the Hurricanes. The former four star recruit from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Ft. Lauderdale has played steadily since his freshman season at The “U”.

Hankerson broke out as a junior and had an even more successful senior season catching 72 passes and 13 touchdowns for a struggling Hurricane team in 2010.

Player Name: Leonard Hankerson

Position: Wide Receiver

School: Miami (Fl.)

Height: 6’1 7/8

Weight: 209

Hand: 10 5/8

Strengths

Hankerson has a solid frame, and he uses his body well, showing off his physical presence by fighting for the football. He has good body control and locates the ball well. Hankerson generally catches the ball at its highest point, and has a nice, long stride. Hankerson is tough going across the middle and has deceivingly solid speed to make the play after the catch. His big frame makes him a nice target to make plays in the red zone and his productivity over the last two years has been very solid, and his performance in the Senior Bowl was a breath of fresh air as his practices during the week were just mediocre.

Weaknesses

Hankerson will struggle getting a jam at the line sometimes, despite being more of a physical wide receiver. He struggles to get separation at times, and lacks huge yard after catch ability because he doesn’t have game breaking speed. Hankerson struggles to catch the ball with his hands, sometimes catching with his body more so, and resulting in drops. He will need to sharpen up his routes at the next level, more specifically his hitch’s and double moves.

Draft Range

Hankerson’s ceiling to be drafted is around pick 35. He should fall between 35 and 60 in the 2011 NFL Draft, with teams like St. Louis, Oakland, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Seattle and New England all looking to select him to sturdy up that offense. He has first round talent, but his lack of speed will likely keep out of the first.

    Hey there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    I wish to express my thanks to the writer just for rescuing me from this type of matter. Because of browsing through the online world and getting techniques that were not powerful, I assumed my life was over. Existing without the solutions to the issues you’ve sorted out by means of your entire guide is a serious case, as well as those that might have badly affected my entire career if I had not noticed your web blog. That competence and kindness in dealing with all the details was important. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had not encountered such a thing like this. I can also at this moment relish my future. Thanks a lot so much for this skilled and effective guide. I will not think twice to recommend the sites to anybody who should have guidelines on this problem.
