Demetric Felton epitomizes the word versatility with experience as a running back and wide receiver. Down in Mobile, Felton has exclusively lined up as a receiver and has given opposing cornerbacks all they can handle in 1v1’s.

He has showcased explosiveness to threaten corners vertically coupled with precise route running and a versatile release package against press coverage. The Andy Isabella experiment has been a failure thus far. This offense needs another weapon to pair with Hopkins and Kirk. Felton can step into a Nyheim Hines kind-of role as a weapon on the ground and through the air.

Matching the former Bruin against linebackers sounds unreasonably one-sided in favor of the offense. Providing Kyler Murray with a great supporting cast must take precedent this off-season, Felton would fit the Air Raid system coach Kingsbury desires to execute.
