Rau was making plays throughout the event. He had the second fastest 40-yard time amongst wide receivers. Hudson has very good athletic ability due to elite acceleration, very good change of direction, speed, and good jumping. Rau’s coachability really impressed me. During the drills with coaches, he was very attentive, and implemented a couple of different techniques into his game. He thrived in the 1 on 1s. Consistently showing off his burners and blazing past the defenders. Rau has very good separation quickness due to his athletic ability. Rau’s very good change of direction juked out a couple of defensive backs. Crisp route running. Good ball tracking and very good catching. Rau is another up and coming prospect to keep an eye on.

Rau is a young receiver who’s quickly establishing himself as one of the more explosive players to watch this season. Rau possesses great hands and has already shown the ability to create separation against the top-tier DB’s this offseason. His speed allows him to become a significant threat once he gets into the open field. He has the potential to make game-breaking plays every time he touches the ball and will be a player to know moving forward.

Rau is a player that has been making some noise throughout the offseason and continues to turn heads. He was explosive off of the line of scrimmage and was able to show his ability to make things happen after the catch. He was able to show some quickness, getting in and out of his cuts quickly. He will be a player to keep an eye on in 7 vs 7 circuit this summer.
