The good thing off the bat is he showed needed improvement during his final season. Rambo runs routes the way one wants a slot receiver to run them but don't let thay fool you, he also has a few deep routes on his tree. He has great change of direction speed, which should show up in his three cone.
He's had a history of drops prior to this season and is a risk to deflect passes into interceptions. He also has a bad habit if catching the ball with his body.
He is good against the zone in getting both separation and release. And he can get separation downfield. He's showed the ability to get yards after the catch but again his hands hurt his ability.
He knows how to navagate traffic and find windows for thr quarterback to throw to. Rambo makes up for his deficiencies with his intelligence by reading defenses and understanding what the defense is going to do.
He can lineup in the X but the slot and Z are where Miami preferred to use him. Mainly on the right side of the field. He also has the speed to make teams play off a little.
One of the biggest knocks on him is he doesn't have the X receiver build. That seems to be the main complaint of every receiver I am liking from this class. Unless a team is looking exclusively for an X, size is not an issue.
His NFL comparisons are John Hightower, Marquez Valdes-Scantling. And he projects to be a mid day three developmental Z receiver prospect that might get taken to be a taller slot.
