Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Josh Reynolds

Summary

Dane Key is a smooth, high-waisted receiver who provides a reliable target at all three levels of the field. After a record-breaking start at Kentucky, he transferred to Nebraska and solidified his reputation as a polished route runner with a large catch radius. While he occasionally lacks urgency in his movements, his ability to sink his hips and create separation makes him a productive chain-mover for any passing attack.

About

Career: 165 receptions, 2,322 yards, 19 TD (51 games between Kentucky and Nebraska)
Family: Brother Devon (Broncos safety)

Strengths

Fluid route runner with the ability to sink hips efficiently.
Large catch radius with natural ability to snag off-target passes.
Highly effective perimeter blocker who consistently sustains blocks against defenders.
