Donovan is an exciting mismatch at WR. He has a wide catch radius at 6’4″ that allows him to go over the top and high point the ball before DBs can get to the ball. What makes Donovan even more of a mismatch is his speed. The long striding athlete eats up yards and pulls away from the defense when he gets the ball in the open field. Anderson also demonstrates the body control to be able to make the defense miss in tight quarters and make the acrobatic sideline catches. He has a well rounded game allowing him to beat whatever the DB’s weakness is.
