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.
