Areas for ImprovementGarrett is a good, not great athlete. He has produced with great technique rather than natural physical gifts. Playing for Wyoming he gets the usual criticism that he has not faced a top level competition. He has excellent technique in coverage but his speed is not elite. He won't be able to keep up with faster tight ends and quicker backs out of the back field. He does not possess the elite athletic talent who only has good not great speed.
