Branch is an explosive vertical slot threat with high-upside potential.

Zachariah Branch is an explosive, lightning-quick wide receiver who can serve as a vertical slot threat; despite limited usage at Georgia, he remains a high-upside player who can separate and make plays, drawing comparisons to Taylor Gabriel.
