Hands: 9 7/8"
Age: 22 (at the time of the 2026 season opener)
Important NFL Combine/Pro Day Numbers

Model Overview
My Wide Receiver Rookie Model evaluates receiver prospects through the traits that historically translate best to fantasy production. The model weighs target earning, market-share production, route efficiency, role deployment, ball skills, athletic translation, age, breakout timing, teammate competition, team context and historical outcome trends.
Bernard grades out as a solid all-around receiver profile because he pairs meaningful 2025 volume with alignment flexibility, useful after-catch production and an athletic translation that is good enough to support multiple usage paths. He is not built around one dominant trait, but the profile gives him several ways to carve out NFL relevance.
The model views Bernard as a balanced receiver whose fantasy appeal comes from versatility, workable athleticism and the ability to contribute from both the slot and the perimeter.
Model Derived Athletic Scores
BMI: 27.2
Speed Score: 102.3
Burst Score: 42.9
Agility Score: 0.73
Composite Athleticism Score: 0.03
Historical Athleticism Percentile: 56th
Understanding the Athleticism Score
The Composite Athleticism Score blends size-adjusted speed, burst, agility and model-derived translation when full testing is unavailable. The percentile compares Bernard to historical wide receiver prospects in the database.
Bernard projects as an average athlete in this model. He is not a rare movement outlier, but he clears enough functional thresholds to support a multi-role receiving projection.
Receiving Efficiency Metrics
Yards per Route Run: 1.70
Yards per Target: 8.45
Touchdowns per Target: 6.9%
First Downs per Route: 0.083
Targets per Route: 0.201
Bernard's efficiency profile is respectable, though not dominant. The strongest signal is that he earned useful volume in a large passing offense and paired it with enough efficiency to remain on the draftable radar.
Usage and Alignment
Average Depth of Target: 10.7
Catch Rate: 62.7%
Contested Catch Rate: 35.7%
Contested Target Rate: 13.7%
Drop Rate: 1.5%
Yards After Catch per Reception: 6.2
Slot Rate: 34.5%
Wide Rate: 62.2%
Bernard's role was flexible rather than rigid. He played primarily outside, but his slot usage was meaningful enough to give him multiple possible NFL paths. That matters for projecting early playing time and role versatility.
Production Snapshot
2025
Games: 14
Targets: 102
Receptions: 64
Receiving Yards: 862
Receiving Touchdowns: 7
Routes Run: 508
Yards per Game: 61.6
Touchdowns per Game: 0.50
Target Share: 20.6%
Yard Share: 21.8%
TD Share: 21.9%
Dominator Rating: 21.8%
Yards per Team Pass Attempt: 1.74
Bernard's 2025 season gives him a solid production case. He handled real volume in Alabama's passing offense and cleared the 100-target mark, even if the market-share profile does not reach the stronger thresholds of the top names in the class.
Positive Indicators
Useful volume profile
Bernard's 2025 target total and role size show a receiver who was trusted with meaningful passing-game work.
Alignment flexibility
His mix of slot and wide usage gives him more than one path to carving out NFL snaps.
After-catch utility
Bernard brings enough yards-after-catch production to create value outside of purely downfield work.
Areas of Concern
Efficiency is more steady than special
The production profile is solid, but it does not hit the same level of route efficiency or per-target dominance as the higher-ranked receivers in the class.
Average athletic profile
Bernard checks enough boxes to project, but he does not bring a rare physical trait that forces a higher ceiling projection.
Moderate fantasy ceiling
His profile looks more like a useful NFL receiver with flexible deployment than a clear future fantasy focal point.
Historical Model Comps
Jack Bech
Van Jefferson
Matthew Golden
Pat Bryant
Velus Jones Jr.
This comp cluster reflects versatile or balanced receivers whose fantasy value depends on role quality, target stability and whether their multi-use skill set turns into reliable NFL opportunity.
Historical Fantasy Tier Outcomes
WR1 (Top 12): 11.5%
WR2 (13—24): 7.3%
WR3 (25—36): 8.8%
WR4 (37—48): 0.2%
Outside WR4 / Bust: 72.2%
These outcomes are exclusive and sum to 100%. Bernard’s distribution points to a more modest fantasy projection, with most of his value tied to earning enough role security to become a usable depth piece.
Early Career Fantasy Outlook
Year 1: WR45—WR60
Year 2—3: WR30—WR45
Bernard projects as an early complementary contributor with a chance to grow into a usable fantasy option if his NFL team leans into his versatility and gives him enough stable volume.
Dynasty Translation
Bernard profiles as a deeper dynasty stash rather than a priority target.
He brings legitimate volume history, alignment flexibility and enough athletic support to stick in an NFL rotation. That gives him a believable path to carving out a role, especially if a coaching staff values his ability to move around the formation.
The model still sees a modest ceiling compared to the top of the class, but Bernard has enough all-around utility to be worth monitoring in deeper dynasty formats.
