Photo by Michael Hickey/Getty ImagesName: Maliq Carr
Position & Size: Wide Receiver, 6-5, 225 Pounds
Hometown: Oak Park, Michigan (Oak Park HS)
Strengths: Big Body, Ability to go up and get the ball over smaller DBs, mismatch vs corners or linebackers, soft hands
Weaknesses: Route running improvement, “Next Gear” Speed Improvement
2020 Prediction: Plays in 4 Games - RS
Similar to Abdur, Maliq is joining an absolutely stacked wide receiver corps.
Maliq does have size that we have not really seen at the WR position under Coach Brohm, if it creates bigger mismatches than I am anticipating right off the bat, then giving him a redshirt may not be feasible.
