What Are They Saying: ''A tall target with large hands and long arms that he uses well to keep defenders at bay. … Impressive athletic display at Scouting Combine. … Superior speed that is capable of stretching coverage. … Shows strong explosion off the line of scrimmage. … Excels at finding soft spots in zone coverage.'' - Vic Carucci (NFL.com).

''[Pope] may be limited to a receiving role as an H-back initially until his blocking comes up to NFL levels. Good fit for the Panthers, Saints, Bears or Bills. Risky top 50 prospect on my board, but could go in the late second round or early third round. Maybe the biggest boom-or-bust prospect in this draft.'' - Rivals.com
