Inconsistent hands. Loses focus at times at the catch leading to drops.
Final Report
Eric McAlister had a very productive 2025 with 72 catches for 1190 yards and 10 touchdowns. In his 4-year career, McAlister finished with 3084 yards, 18.2 yards per catch, and 24 touchdowns. McAlister is a tall, slim receiver with decent athleticism. McAlister on tape had a limited route tree and wasn't always consistent within that limitation. He wasn't too explosive in and out of his stems. Against decent corners he wouldn't create much separation. He made a good amount of plays downfield that might be much more difficult at the next level given his tested speed. At the catch point, McAlister has mastery over his late hands technique on over the shoulder/back shoulder throws. Unfortunately, he does have issues with drops to overcome. After the catch McAlister is outstanding. He's a strong runner and decently elusive. He frequently can make the first man miss and turn moderate gains into big ones. At the next level, McAlister is likely a rotational outside receiver. After suffering a broken foot in his pro day, he'll be started 2026 a bit behind.
