Scouting report: “Kincaid is an easy mover who can sink his hips and cut on a dime to create separation in his routes. He plays with a controlled tempo and natural balance, bringing top-tier body control when the ball is in the air. He shows an excellent feel for uncovering in soft spots in zone and has the speed to run away from man coverage on crossers and seams.” — Danny Kelly, The Ringer.
