Overview:

One of the many weapons the Florida gators boast in their historic passing attack, wide receiver Trevon Grimes has provided a tremendous size profile to a team that trots out a ton of speed on the perimeter. The former Ohio State product, and former top recruit, Grimes has quarterback Kyle Trask’s full trust in the back shoulder game. With his huge frame and gigantic catch radius, he is able to win constantly in the vertical third against smaller defensive backs. Grimes has some really strong hands, showing the ability to extend and snatch the football with high efficiency. For a man his size, Grimes has enough juice to threaten vertically. In the run game his size again shows up, while showing outstanding effort as a blocker. Grimes has put the production together at points but it has been very sporadic during the majority of his career. He is not the most flexible player in the world, limiting his ability to run an expanded route tree with a ton of nuance. There is a ceiling here for a player like Grimes. He will never be a huge volume pass catcher but with his size, hand strength and physicality, he has enough tools to develop into a dependable position receiver in an NFL receiving corp.
