Weight:183
College:Hawaii
Conference:WAC
Hometown:Rialto, CA
High School:Rialto
Overview
Top Performer: Bench Press & 20-Yard Shuttle
Like teammate Davone Bess, Grice-Mullen is an undersized receiver who plays with more quickness than straight-line speed and will be best suited playing the slot receiver position in the NFL. With head coach June Jones and his aggressive offensive philosophies leaving Hawaii, Grice-Mullen elected to leave school early. It could be a decision he regrets, as much of his success is due to Jones' scheme and not elite athleticism or size on Grice-Mullen's part.

Analysis
Positives:
Good initial quickness off the snap. ... Flashes burst out of his breaks. ... Generally reliable hands and shows the body control to adjust and make the difficult reception. ... Good lateral quickness to make defenders miss in the open field.
Negatives:
More quick than fast. ... May struggle to generate separation from defenders in more traditional offenses due to only marginal quickness out of his breaks. ... Only normal acceleration when breaking into the open field and too often doesn't separate from defenders. ... Can be caught from behind.
