Let’s See His Work

How He Would Fit

Coulter has the raw material to be a starting WR in the NFL, but he still needs work refining his route running and harnessing his quickness to best elude defenders. He will also need to exert more physicality in dealing with cornerbacks for contested balls in the pros in order to find success. As a late round pick, Coulter is a high ceiling/low floor option who could potentially pair well with the other young WRs on the Redskins’ roster.
