"K.J. Duff's calling card isn't his top-end speed, but his 213-pound frame and the intelligence to weaponize it. He wins with mature route manipulation in the intermediate area and a contact balance that turns simple catches into first downs. While he lacks an extra gear, his blend of technique and power projects him as a high-floor, high-volume receiver from Day 1."
A 6-foot-6 boundary X who does not need separation to win — Duff turns 50-50 balls into completions and shrinks the field every time Rutgers gets inside the 20.
What he does well
- 01Catch radius — At 6'6" with long arms, Duff converts off-target throws into completions, extending well outside his frame and plucking the ball away from his body.
- 02Contested-catch conversion — He late-hands the ball at its peak and boxes out with his back and hip, routinely winning 50-50 throws against smaller boundary corners.
