Chaz Schilens, wide receiver from San Diego State.
4.39 at 208.
More imposing than productive, Schilens never had more than 35 catches in a season in his college career. Some teams looked at him as a potential H-back should he put on weight, but the Raiders see him as an outside or slot threat who is not only bigger than most of the player she faces but also has run the 40-yard dash in under 4.4 seconds. Very raw, Schilens could end up on the practice squad, assuming Shields sticks on the roster.

Positives: His frame can carry at least another 15 pounds of bulk...Not flashy, but is a steady effort type, a tireless worker with a team-first attitude...Adjusts smoothly to the off-target throws...Has the explosive burst needed to gain separation after the catch...Does not shy away from the crowd, using his hands well to force his way through traffic...Plants and drives sharply on deep routes, showing good knee bend and weave, along with the ability to make adjustments on the move to get under the throw without breaking stride...Has the lateral agility to shake free of press coverage at the line of scrimmage...Very effective on vertical-type routes, showing elusive moves to the corner, doing a nice job of working to uncover and find the open area...Can adjust his frame to scoop up the low tosses and has good reach and extension going after the off-target throws...Can create space with his acceleration and knows how to drive toward the sidelines in clock management...Flashes to the ball with his hands properly extended and never hesitates going over the middle for the ball...Shows the athletic ability to adjust to the ball and take it away from the defender...Has a keen knowledge for moving the chains, knowing how to stay uncovered once the coverage spreads...Displays the speed to find the end zone when he catches the ball in stride...Does a good job of catching the ball away from his body.
Negatives: Comes out of his stance a little slow, showing hesitation before getting into gear a few steps past the line (has some hip stiffness)...Not very quick in and out of his cuts and will revert to rounding them at times...While he can catch very effectively with his hands extended, he tends to cradle-catch the ball at times...Needs to show better sideline awareness, as he tends to struggle keeping his feet inbounds...Struggles at times to adjust to the defenders, running into them rather than looking for ways to avoid...Has to secure the ball better before turning upfield after the catch...Has to get more aggressive with his hands to prevent the initial tackler from making the hit at the point of the catch.
Compares To: DREW BENNETT-St. Louis...Schilens has impressive athletic ability. He has good knee bend and weave for a player his size and you really have to like the way he goes after the ball. He's a natural hands catcher, but is prone to concentration lapses, which will frustrate a coach with the passes he leaves on the ground. For a player with such impressive timed speed, he is forever slow getting off the line.
Injury Report
