Chicago Bears Draft Scout: Marcell Ateman

Pro Comparison Andre Holmes

They only come sporadically and in bunches, but when Andre Holmes has a chance at the ball, he is usually flipping field position or scoring touchdowns. Holmes averages a touchdown once every seven receptions and averages about 14 yards per reception on his career. That is the type of splash plays that can be had by Marcell Ateman.

If Ateman tests well, he may have the upside of a number two wide receiver, maybe a poor mans Alshon Jeffrey. However, due to his age, his lack of separation skills and some questionable route running, he could be looked at as a depth splash player who is able to come up big with jump balls down the field, towards the sidelines, and in the red zone. That is a specialty that every team needs and it should result in him seeing the field early in his career, even if it is not often.
