Stribling’s Hidden Route Running Flaw | San Francisco 49ers News
Description
The 49ers shocked the NFL by drafting DeZhaun Stribling sixth overall—despite being ranked as a 15th-best receiver. Early camp footage caught the eye of Dez Bryant, who zeroed in on Stribling’s footwork, revealing a critical flaw: his outside foot placement causes him to roll into routes instead of planting firmly—a key difference between good and elite receivers. While Stribling boasts elite size and speed, his college stats (never topping 1,000 yards, not even his team’s top receiver) hint at untapped potential. With veteran Mike Evans on board to mentor him, Stribling has a chance—but Bryant’s analysis makes it clear: his development is far from complete.
