RELEASE/ROUTE RUNNING

Sarratt is a near-elite route runner, particularly in the short-to-intermediate range. He dominates press coverage with an outstanding release package, quick feet, and physicality throughout his stems. While he lacks elite explosiveness out of breaks, his technical precision and high football IQ allow him to consistently manipulate defenders and create separation through savvy positioning and timing.

PHYSICALITY

Sarratt plays with a bully-ball mentality that we love on tape. He routinely swats away defenders’ hands during routes to maintain separation and is a nightmare in the red zone. With the right coach who schemes to his physical strengths, he has the potential to develop into a touchdown machine at the next level.

YARDS AFTER CATCH

Sarratt displays strong YAC ability, driven by his quick feet and short-area agility. He consistently breaks down defenders in open space, routinely turning short gains into chunk yardage. While he is not a consistent home-run threat on every touch, his ability to generate extra yards after the catch adds meaningful value in the passing game.

ATHLETICISM

Sarratt brings above-average top-end speed and burst to the position. His standout trait is short-area quickness, particularly at the route stem and in/out of breaks, where he changes direction smoothly and efficiently. He may not be the fastest receiver in the class, but his athletic profile is more than sufficient to translate at the next level.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

His near-elite route running combined with above-average ball skills and physicality make him one of our favorite prospects in this class. We recommend targeting him in the early-to-mid second round of rookie drafts.

BALL SKILLS

Sarratt possesses above-average ball skills. He excels at body positioning in contested situations, giving himself a clear advantage at the catch point. He routinely fights through contact and adjusts effectively to off-target throws. One minor technical quirk is an occasional tendency to clap at the ball rather than securing it with soft, strong hands, though this does not raise significant concerns on our evaluation.

IDEAL TEAM FITS

Sarratt's ideal fit would be with a team needing a Redzone weapon that can dominate against man coverage. Ideal scenario would be the heir-apparent to Davante Adams with the Rams.
