Pros

• Elite speed and agility at the receiver position.

• Has that top gear to burn defenders deep.

 

• Was an exceptional play maker at Houston every time he had the ball in his hands.

 

• Rarely gets touched by the first defender due to his exceptional evasive abilities.

​

• Effective at all three levels of the field.

 

• Very good route-runner with fluid speed on his routes. 

 

• Exceptional stop-start quickness to get open.

 

• Hard to mirror for bigger corners that can't match his speed and agility.

 

• Was used all over the field at Houston from the receiver position to taking hand-offs.

 

• Very hard to touch in the open field with his ability to make defenders miss with ease.

 

• Homerun threat capabilities if he has a crease. 

​

• Punt and kick return capabilities. 

Cons

• Way too thin and slight in his frame to have a long career in the NFL. 

• Play strength is non-existent.

 

• Press coverage is his Achilles heel.

 

• Catches a significant amount of his passes with his chest.

 

• Will likely be a non-factor on contested catches.

 

• Likely to strictly play within the numbers in his NFL given his lack of size. 

• Not going to be an effective blocker in the NFL at his current weight.

 

• Won't be breaking many tackles in his career given his lacking strength in his frame.

​

• Relies heavily on his speed to get open at times rather than trusting his routes.

Overview

Nathaniel "Tank" Dell has a tremendous amount of capabilities in the NFL with his top notch speed which should be on display at the combine as well as his propensity to make plays all over the field should make him a favorite among NFL teams as Tyreek Hill type weapon on the field (NOT COMPARING HIM TO TYREEK HILL). Dell however, has to gain weight if he not only wants to be successful in the NFL but even play in the NFL because NFL defenders are going to level him when they get the chance his 150 lbs. build soaking wet is going to get cut in half. His lacking play strength is also going to hurt him as well as NFL press corners are going to man handle him the minute they put hands on him. He needs to live in the weight room until he can put at least 20+ lbs. of muscle to his frame before I would feel comfortable giving him an expanded role with the team and if he can do this, he'll be a potential highlight reel every sunday.
