Badger is a multifaceted receiver who has played both the field-stretching role (2024) and operated as an underneath option (2021-2023). Florida shoved him into a downfield role last year with quarterbacks on the roster who didn't excel at chucking the deep ball, which hurt Badger's 2024 output. In 2021-2023, his aDOT was 7.3-10.2, as he thrived in those final two seasons as an underneath option and tackle-breaking maestro (third and seventh in missed tackles forced). In 2023, he was also 13th in YAC per reception. I imagine any NFL team that will be securing his services in the draft will return him to a RAC-oriented role while also now having proof of concept of him as a deep threat. Badger was a competent deep threat in his final season in college, ranking 29th in receiving grade and 14th in yards per route run. On film, he has enough raw speed to get downfield, but he lacks an elite home run gear to take a 50-yard completion to the house for 60 or 70 yards. Because his speed is very good but not elite, he struggled to consistently stack corners instead of having them live at the catch point with him. He still won at the catch point and on deep routes with body control, strong ball tracking, and arrogant hands. Badger would also toss in some small route nuance (head fakes) necessary to invite indecision into a corner's headspace. Badger's play strength shows up in a variety of areas of his game. He can manufacture missed tackles, deal with physical corners in route and at the top of his stem, win at the catch point, and handle man/press coverage. Badger looks like a running back after the catch, with flashing physicality and good short-area footwork to weave through traffic in the second level. Badger is a good route runner, but he still needs to add to the release toolbelt and continue to work in more mid-route nuance. You'll see him sell the vertical element of a route before snapping off a hitch. He's not the twitchest player, but he can subtly change direction without losing much (if any speed). His reacceleration on double moves isn't great, so I wouldn't expect him to be utilized in many of these in the NFL. Badger has strong body control. He can contort in the air with back shoulder catches and receptions near the sideline. His hands are quite good and have improved in each season in college, with his drop rate dropping from 6.7% to zero drops from 2022 to 2024.
