Here's the Scouts Inc. report on Michael Clayton...
2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.
Grade: 59 | Key
Comment: Clayton has struggled to live up to expectations. He is a big receiver with adequate downfield speed but average acceleration off the line. He builds to speed more than being immediate and struggles to sink his hips to get in and out of breaks with a burst in order to separate from defenders. He runs clean routes but they could be sharper and more explosive. He has a wide receiving radius that allows him to reach down and pluck the low one off the turf. He lacks premier elusiveness once he catches the ball and pretty much has to have a step on defenders to gain many yards after the reception. He is a better fit as a No. 3, or maybe a No. 2 receiver, than a No. 1. He has managed to stay healthy and play a full 16-game season only once in his previous six seasons.
