Unless he’s landing on the Kansas City Chiefs’ roster or perhaps with the Philadelphia Eagles next to Marquise Goodwin, Schwartz is going to be his NFL team’s fastest receiver. How Schwartz Would Fit on the Patriots’ Roster With Julian Edelman’s career likely coming to an end soon, the Patriots are likely looking for a player who can be a matchup nightmare for defenses in the slot. He displays some physical toughness for being a “track guy” and would be a matchup problem in the slot. He is a home-run threat and defenders must account for his dynamic ability in the slot. In the passing game, he is a threat due to his explosive speed to threaten a defense before and after the ball arrives.

He’s a willing stalk blocker but is better off running the defender off. Here’s how The Draft Network described Schwartz, who projects as a slot receiver:Īnthony Schwartz has exceptional proactive athleticism, as evidenced by his quickness, body control, and balance. However, more than his actual numbers, Schwartz impacts every play he’s on the field with his take-the-top-off-the-defense speed.

He saw consistent improvement each year he was in school, and that production culminated in 2020 when he snagged 54 receptions for 636 yards and 3 TDs. Schwartz is coming out of Auburn after his junior season.
