Strengths:
More than anything else, Rhema McKnight should be prepared for the NFL offensive playbook. McKnight had the advantage of working in the Notre Dame offense that is a pro style attack and that should assist McKnight with the transition from college to the pros. McKnight had a very consistent season as he solidified himself as a legit offensive option in the offense all season long. McKnight is one of the better route runners in the draft.
Weaknesses:
Rhema McKnight had the advantage of playing opposite Notre Dame’s legit number one target Jeff Samardjiza, but at the same time he was seeing every teams 2^nd CB and the opposing teams defenses were never schemed to stop him so he had more of an opportunity to produce than if he was the number one option himself. McKnight has just average speed and needs to become more of a technician at the next level to ensure that he can get open without having that straight line speed. McKnight also had to advantage to play with first round QB, Brady Quinn.
Overall:
Rhema McKnight would have been much more well publicized had he been a prospect in the 2006 draft. Having entered the draft in 2007 McKnight once again finds himself under the radar. McKnight will make an NFL team and may never be a spectacular player, but he could be a solid addition to a team for many years to come.
