He high points the ball well and times his jumps with precision. Great hands too.
The main thing that caught my attention however, was how good he was with scramble rules. Whenever the NIU quarterback had to scramble or escape the pocket, Fountain would seamlessly adjust his route, find open space, and track the ball buying his quarterback time and making big plays off of his ability to read the situation. This made me salivate thinking what he could do with Mahomes and his improvisational abilities...
With the combine numbers he put up he might have boosted his stock to be a fourth or fifth round pick when many had him pegged as a seventh rounder or even undrafted free agent.

Have you had a looked at Lasley and Coutee's film? If so what did you make of them? Lasley met with our WR coach for an hour at the combine, and then had a private workout with the Chiefs a couple of days ago. I think there's a very strong chance that he's the man they like. He's quick, a very good route runner, can play slot and outside etc, I think he'd fit the system very well. Whilst Coutee met with Chiefs at the combine too and Is very quick and of course has a history with Mahomes.
