Finally made the time to watch him, and I came away impressed. 

He has a versatile game.  He has the speed to get deep and gain separation on vertical routes, and the size and physicality to win on contested balls, ins and slants.  He adjusts to the ball well.  While his burst won't be mistaken for Tyreek Hill's, his size doesn't saddle him with the lumbering sort of build up speed Matt Jones had.  Whoever gets him will get a mature kid (married) and of course being from Stanford, he's smart.

I am not sure if he is the sort of receiver Urban Meyer wants here, but I think he would be an asset to any team that drafts him.

How so? All I've heard from Meyer is that he covets speed and Fehoko ran a 4.42/40 at 6'4". That's really fast. He's also a pretty decent blocker for a WR. He'd even have time to mature and get better, since he would be unlikely to break the starting lineup as that seems set in stone with Chark, Shenault and Jones. I could see Chark, Johnson, Johnson and Fehoko used on some sets as redzone receivers. Imagine having all that height and speed on the field at the same time? No team would be able to defend that. If I were Lawrence, I'd be drooling over such a lineup around the goal line.

I'm not flat out denying that he is a Meyer type receiver, I'm saying I'm not sure.

I think Meyer has a paradigm for receivers, and my impression (without looking it up first) is that he likes the smaller, quicker, faster WR.  Off the top of my head, the guys he's produced dating back to Percy Harvin and continuing to Samuel and McLaurin all fit that mold.

Edit:  After reviewing Percy Harvin, Curtis Samuel, Terry McLaurin, and Parris Campbell, all are listed at 6' or below and right around 200 lbs.  I'm sure there are others I am missing, but these are the guys that immediately came to mind.


Might he be intrigued with Fehoko's size/speed combination? 

Sure.

But my impression at the moment leaves me with some doubt he would fit.


Edit 2:  I remembered Michael Thomas.  He's 6-3 and was a Meyer recruit.   Maybe Fehoko could fit here.
