Genuine question: what are his athletic attributes that make him rare? Body control, I presume? Vert, maybe? I’ve not watched him more than some highlights.
It's really just ball-skills, at the core of it. Plenty of kids are super athletic...they're big, they're strong, they can run and jump and look incredible playing WR.
But the true 0.1% of the 0.1% have the ability to track the football in the air and attack it just simply better than anyone else. That's this kid, to me. It's somewhat similar to a truly elite center fielder. There are plenty of athletic guys who have played center field, but the "1 of 1" type players are just better at it. Why? Was Andruw Jones or Ken Griffey Jr simply faster or bigger or more athletic than anyone else that have played? No. But their ability to instantly recognize the ball off the bat, to take the absolute most efficient route to the ball, to know where they are, EXACTLY, on the field without taking their eyes off the ball, and the ability to finish catches while hitting the ground, or the wall, or another outfielder...that's what took them from elite to best of all-time type consideration. There are no false steps, they're never fooled by the path of the ball, they're never out of position. At the nanosecond the ball hits the bat, they're moving in the exact perfect position to make the catch. That's Wright when a ball is thrown. The instant it leaves the QBs hand, he's got laser tracking on it.
That's what I see in this kid. When the ball is in the air, it's his. He just has this completely natural ability to accelerate or throttle down absolutely perfectly, immediately, as soon as the ball is thrown to put himself in the perfect position to catch it. He naturally uses his body to shield the defender, it's almost like he doesn't even realize he's there, and he has the strength, balance, core strength, and nuance to never get knocked off his spot. He just knows where the ball is going to be at its apex better than the defender does, and his hands are completely insane making off-platform catches. IMO that's what makes him 1 of 1 as far as a pure receiver and the best prospect at the position since JJ. He's just a completely natural and gifted tracker and catcher of the football.
