About Darius
Expert Analysis
Chad Graham | Prep Redzone Scout
Overview: Pope is an outside receiver with some suddenness and twitch. His short-area quickness allows him to get off press coverage at the line of scrimmage and make defenders miss after the catch. He has the big play ability to turn 5 into 20 and 20 into 40. His agility, speed, and strength open up the full route tree for him. And though he’s not the tallest pass catcher, Pope even wins at the top of the route on fades with his ball skills and footwork. He projects as an X and/or a Z due to how well he stretches the field and creates YAC. Pope also has the movement skills and tools to be an elite defensive back.
