While it's unlikely George will ever develop into a WR1 on the NFL level, he can absolutely become a big-time playmaker and major contributor as a second or third option in an offense. His impressive route running and ability to succeed on all three levels is something that can't be overlooked. The fact that he can separate quickly to get open, crisply cut off a route, and beat defenders downfield makes him a potentially dangerous and reliable weapon in the pros. In the right system with creative coaches, he can be a very dangerous weapon if given the ball in space. Strength and size are his biggest hindrance, but that's becoming less of an issue in today's evolving NFL. The former Hurricane will also need to stay focused and keep his head in the game to avoid some of the issues we saw on the field at Miami. Landing spot will be a huge deal for George. If he lands in the right system, he could become a major contributor in the league. We expect him to be drafted at some point on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft.
