Dominic Lovett 2025 NFL Draft: Scouting Report For Georgia Bulldogs WR
Height: 5100 (verified)
Weight: 185lbs (verified)
Year: Senior
Pro Comparison: Danny Gray
Scouting Overview
Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Dominic Lovett projects as a speedy depth player for an NFL offense. Lovett is an easy mover and offers explosive athleticism but is missing some of the inherent skills that could truly diversify his opportunities.
As is, he’s a slot-exclusive talent who has fought the football at times when off his frame. Lovett has struggled in tight window areas and does not play well around physicality. This leaves him as more of a developmental player moving forward amid his transition.
2025 NFL Combine Results
| Position | Name | School | 40-Yard Dash | 10-Yard Split | Broad Jump | Vertical Jump | 3-Cone Drill | 20-Yard Shuttle | Bench Press |

Positives
- Explosive straight line get-off at the line of scrimmage to create space on his route stem
- Offers special teams value as a gunner
- Capable of creating sharp angles with speed if unbothered at the top of routes
Negatives
- Struggles with physical coverage that can uproot his route stems and disrupt timing
- Does not showcase a desirable catch radius and lacks consistency away from his numbers
- Provides zero value as an add-on to the core from the slot in the run game
Background
Lovett is from St. Louis, MO, and played high school football at East St. Louis Senior HS. There, he was a prized 4-star recruit (247 Sports) who initially committed to Arizona State before flipping his commitment and enrolling at Missouri.
Lovett played two seasons for the Tigers from 2021 to 2022, posting 12 starts in 25 games played. After the 2022 season, he entered the transfer portal and committed to Georgia, where he started half of his 14 games played as a junior in 2023.
Lovett tied a career-high in receptions as a senior in 2024, posting 56 receptions and setting a career-high with six receiving touchdowns.
Tale Of The Tape
Lovett has found production in two separate SEC offenses, a testament to his athleticism and how it will surely have something to offer in the pros, as well. Lovett’s Georgia receiving profile was largely watered down — be it because of the scheme, quarterback play, or otherwise.
Nearly 1/3rd of his routes at UGA were run behind the line of scrimmage (more than 200 total). And he caught one more pass 15 or more air yards downfield in two seasons at Georgia than he did in 2022 alone at Missouri.
The role Lovett filled leaves a great deal to the imagination for what else you believe he can be. But when assessing his receiving skill set, you see plus athletic gifts but a lack of physicality and a missing element of ball skills that could otherwise boost him into a different stratosphere.
Lovett has the stature and resume of an inside slot receiver, but physicality can beat him too easily in coverage, and collisions can knock him off course too easily, disrupting the timing of his routes. He will need to refine his releases and leverage off the line of scrimmage or develop some more functional strength to stay on his track in reps and avoid getting bogged down.
As a slot receiver, he’ll need to live with high-traffic targets. He shows an encouraging willingness to live in these areas, but tight window throws will test his ability to secure these throws through contact, and he does not have the most fool-proof catch radius.
Lovett won't help boost your offense’s run-game effectiveness. It creates a difficult personnel conflict as a slot receiver who may serve as a pass-game tell, but he’s not effective or stout as a blocker and feels likely to yield his run-game reps to either a second tight end or a bigger third receiver.
A team that is willing to use his speed more to stretch the field or keep him in motion at the snap as a means of clearing more open-air releases for him would likely benefit greatly from these assignments and get Lovett into more winning situations. In the meantime, Lovett can continue to build out his route running prowess to become a craftsman and boost his separation consistency in routes to all levels of the field.
He has the athleticism to be a chore in man-to-man coverage, but his development was stunted by the asks he was given at Georgia.
Ideal Scheme Fit, Role
Lovett projects as a developmental slot receiver at the NFL level. He’ll benefit from a team that implements motion to keep him clean and use his speed as an added spacing dynamic to their offense.
Lovett can provide special teams value while he develops offensively.
