Leonard Hankerson, Washington Redskins, 79th Pick, 3rd Round, 2011 NFL Draft


Hankerson, Leonard Miami 6015 209 4.43
Two-year starter with long arms and big hands. Plays both the “x” split end or “‘z”’ flanker position. A good athlete who had his best year as a senior. Improved his consistency in 2010 catching the ball, but still double caught and dropped routine passes at times. A good sized target with deep speed. Does a good job of working back to the ball. A competitor who will catch the ball in a crowd. Can make the vertical over shoulder catch. Tracks the ball into his hands. A good route runner. Inconsistent quarterback play held down his numbers, but contributed to his ability to catch off target passes. Senior Bowl notes: demonstrated receiving consistency catching the ball during the week. On game day he didn’t catch the ball clean at times and had some drops. He did catch 5 passes for 100 yards and a touchdown in the game. Beat press coverage with quickness and speed. Set several Hurricane receiving records, including breaking Michael Irvin’s season touchdown mark. For complete report see Ourlads Guide to the NFL Draft.
