If Nash is drafted, his pro career will start at age 26. At the NFL Combine, he ran a 4.57 40-yard dash while offering size (6’2” and 205 lbs.) to the wide receiver position. His release will be tested vs. press coverage. Nash brings a tight end approach to the wide receiver position, creating wins in jump-ball situations. His route running is a work in progress, but it has a chance to improve.

If Nash had a typical path to the NFL with four years of experience as a wide receiver, his profile would be much more intriguing to a pro team. Unfortunately, he has a short window to prove his worth at the next level. His size brings a Mike Evans feel for a franchise shopping in his aisle. An NFL team with multiple picks in the mid-range of this year’s draft with the flexibility to take a gamble; otherwise, Nash should be selected in the sixth round or later.
