It fits best at wide receiver with a fit of 44.2 — 491st of 1025 at that position, and 41st in Johto. Its next best use is slot receiver at 41.0.
Half the grade is Speed and the rest is a blend of hands. Height finally matters: tall receivers win jump balls, and anything past 7'3" stops helping. Two start on every team, so the position runs deep in a draft.

The six numbers the game reads. Everything on this page is derived from them.
