The NFL draft is just two weeks away, and our coverage here at NFL Trade Rumors rolls on. Over the weekend, I’ll finish releasing my final position rankings as we get closer and closer to one of the best weekends of the entire year. Stretching all the way back to last summer, I’ve been poring over tape, monitoring pro day and Combine performances, and getting my eyes on the All-Star circuit, all to deliver the most accurate and informative draft coverage I can.

This wide receiver class isn’t generating quite as much buzz as some other positions, but it’s one of the strongest groups in the draft. We have top-end, first-round talent, a lot of intriguing upside on Day 2, and fantastic depth on Day 3. Over the last five years, we’ve all grown accustomed to elite wide receiver classes, and 2026 is no exception with as many as six first-round picks and a bunch of potential starters available after that.

Over the next two weeks, I’ll be finishing out my final position rankings and much more. We have a lot of content planned on the draft side coming up soon, so stay tuned!

1: Jordyn Tyson, Arizona State

A redshirt junior who began his college career at Colorado, Tyson is a former three-star prospect from Texas. He flashed as a true freshman before transferring to Arizona State and taking a redshirt year to recover from a knee injury. Tyson was sensational for the Sun Devils in 2024, catching 75 passes for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns before breaking his collarbone near the end of the regular season, earning first-team All-Big 12 honors. As a redshirt junior, Tyson dealt with a hamstring injury and missed about a month of the season, but still had 61 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns in nine games, once again making the first-team All-Big 12.

At 6-2, 203 pounds, Tyson has great size to play on the outside in the NFL. Unlike many receivers his size, however, he’s a master at creating separation. At all levels of the field, Tyson creates easy space to operate. He uses a combination of elite quick-twitch athleticism and an advanced understanding of how to manipulate leverage to gain separation. Tyson explodes out of his breaks and moves so smoothly that defenders have difficulty keeping up with him — plus he sells his fakes so well that he routinely fools defensive backs, coming wide open across the middle of the field.

With plus length and great ball-tracking ability, Tyson is a monster in contested catch situations. His basketball background shows up on the football field, as he boxes out at the catch point like he’s preparing to grab a rebound. After the catch, he runs with purpose and has solid contact balance, generating yards with the ball in his hands. He catches screens as well, adding to his versatility. Coaches will love his tenacity when blocking, as Tyson is a complete receiver who is a plus run blocker as well.

Tyson’s medical history does raise some serious red flags. He’s dealt with several soft tissue injuries in college and has yet to play a full, healthy season. That aside, Tyson is a bit inconsistent against press coverage, sometimes failing to match the necessary physicality and allowing himself to get bullied on the route. For a receiver of his size, you’d like to see him own those matchups more and impose his own physicality on the cornerback.

But really, aside from his injury history, there’s nothing to complain about with Tyson. He can play outside or in the slot, dominates over the middle of the field, creates easy separation, and makes things happen after the catch. He’s a quarterback’s best friend and a top-five player in this class for me, one of the few true blue-chip talents in this draft. That said…Tyson’s hamstring injury nagged throughout the offseason and he didn’t work out at the Combine or his pro day. There’s a real chance he falls out of the first round at this point due to concerns with his longevity and availability.

2: Carnell Tate, Ohio State

A consensus five-star recruit from Chicago, Tate played immediately as a true freshman for the Buckeyes in a backup role. As a sophomore in 2024, he became a weekly starter, posting 52 catches for 733 yards and four touchdowns. With Emeka Egbuka’s departure to the NFL, Tate’s role grew substantially as a junior in 2025, totaling 51 receptions for 875 yards and nine touchdowns in a crowded Ohio State passing attack. Tate was named first-team All-Big Ten after the regular season and has only continued to climb draft boards.

Checking in at 6-2, 192 pounds, Tate is all length on the outside. He might have the best hands and body control of any receiver I’ve ever scouted — he had no drops in 2025 and just five total in his college career, despite attempting and making some of the most ridiculous receptions you’ve ever seen. Tate caught over 85 percent of his contested targets as a junior and never had a season below 50 percent. He’s acrobatic, with elite focus to haul in passes and is effective after the catch, making efficient use of the space available without risking fumbles or lost yardage.

Tate pairs his reliability with elite route-running skills, a true master of setting up his man through subtle moves and head fakes. Over the middle of the field, Tate dominates, hitting timing routes with precision and breaking at the right time to come open as needed. He shreds zone defenses, weaving into pockets of space and getting north/south after the catch. Tate is the best blocker at the receiver position in this class, too, with a grit to his game, always looking to put a punishing finish on each block.

Despite all his skill, Tate isn’t an exceptional athlete. His top speed won’t consistently threaten cornerbacks and he doesn’t have the raw short-area quickness that pops off the tape. That’s really the only negative on his scouting report, however. He could stand to add some weight, as his 6-2 frame could certainly take it, but that’s about it.

One of my favorite players in this class, Tate has all the tools to thrive in the league immediately. He’s reminiscent of recent NFL success stories such as Puka Nacua, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Egbuka. Guys who can create separation the way he can, with veteran-like route-running abilities and savant-level body control at the catch point, are built to win in the NFL. Tate is a top-10 player in this class for me and the current favorite to be the first receiver off the board.

3: Makai Lemon, USC

A five-star recruit and two-way player in high school, Lemon made an impact at both wide receiver and cornerback in his true freshman season at USC. As a sophomore in 2024, he started playing receiver full-time, hauling in 52 receptions for 764 yards and three touchdowns. Lemon’s junior season marked his ascension to stardom, as he was named first-team All-Big Ten behind 79 receptions for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns, adding a pair of rushing scores as well. He led all Power Four conference players in receiving yards in 2025 and was tied for second in touchdowns.

At 5-11, 192 pounds, Lemon fits the mold for a lot of modern NFL receivers. His change-of-direction abilities are otherworldly, putting on moves in the open field that make defenders look silly. Whether he’s running complex routes or shaking guys after the catch, Lemon is slippery and tough for defenders to get their hands on. Combined with lightning-quick acceleration off the line of scrimmage, Lemon can attack all levels of the field, running a complete route tree with a technical precision coaches will love.

Against zone coverages, Lemon knows where to sit to stay open and can adjust his routes on the fly to attack holes in the zone. He doesn’t run himself into trouble and he developed a good rapport with his quarterback in this regard. After the catch is where Lemon is at his most dangerous, weaving through the defense like a running back and staying strong through contact to generate huge plays. Despite being a little undersized, he thrives in contested catch situations, with plus body control and strong hands to make tough catches.

Against press coverage, Lemon struggles. He gets jammed at the line a little too often and doesn’t have the play strength to play through the defender and run his route. Teams may have to protect Lemon from this in the NFL by playing him mostly in the slot, which does impact his value. I also question if he has the top-end vertical speed to truly threaten defenses over the top consistently, but this is more of a minor nitpick.

Lemon is such a fun watch on tape and his fit in the NFL is a natural one. An easy first-round pick, modern NFL offenses thrive with receivers like Lemon who can make tough catches in traffic, have inside/outside versatility, and create chunk plays with the ball in their hands. If you’re looking for a dominant X-receiver, there are better options in this class, but Lemon is one of the best all-around prospects.

4: Denzel Boston, Washington

A four-star recruit from Washington who took a redshirt year in 2022, Boston was primarily a special teamer as a redshirt freshman in 2023. But with the Huskies losing their top three receivers to the NFL after that season, Boston stepped into a much larger role as a sophomore, nabbing 63 receptions for 834 yards and nine touchdowns. Primed for stardom in 2025, Boston was limited with an ankle sprain late in the season, but still managed to put up 62 receptions for 881 yards and 11 touchdowns, even throwing for a touchdown on a trick play. He earned third-team All-Big Ten recognition as a junior.

If you want an alpha to win on the outside, Boston is your guy. Measuring 6-4 and 212 pounds, he has the size to dominate almost every cornerback he faces. Boston creates separation against press coverage through physicality and exceptional route running, with fantastic little moves to sell his routes and sharp breaks to get open. A contested catch monster, he plays with great body control and vise-grip hands and reels in all sorts of tough catches. Defenders simply don’t stand a chance one-on-one at the catch point.

For his size, Boston is pretty twitchy, creating instant separation with fluid hips and rapid deceleration at the tops of his routes. He can threaten deep down the field vertically and create after the catch, running through arm tackles and forcing some missed tackles in the open field. Over the middle of the field, Boston is a nightmare for defenses to cover, shredding them for routine chunk plays. As a blocker, he plays with tenacity and technique, adding value even when the ball isn’t heading his way.

Boston didn’t run at his pro day or the Combine, raising serious concerns about his top speed. That shows up on tape, too — while he can create easy separation off his breaks, coverage defenders can close that initial gap quickly, creating lots of contested catch situations. Perhaps more concerningly, Boston’s release package is fairly limited, which is not what you want to see from an X-receiver.

A physical monster of a receiver, Boston has a late first-round grade from me. He plays with such exceptional toughness through contact and has an immediate role in the NFL with his skill set. He creates consistent separation and thrives over the middle of the field, so I’m not worried about his ability to translate to the next level — he avoids the red flags on his profile that some similar prospects have had in the past. Almost every team could use Boston, and he’ll have his share of suitors.

5: Omar Cooper Jr., Indiana

A four-star recruit from Indianapolis, Cooper committed to the Hoosiers two years before Curt Cignetti would change the direction of that program. He redshirted in 2022 before having a minimal role in 2023, posting 18 catches for 267 yards and two touchdowns. In 2024, he broke out with a bigger target share, totaling 28 receptions for 594 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging a wild 21.2 yards per reception. But Cooper’s best season came as a redshirt junior, when he had 69 receptions for 937 yards and 13 touchdowns, earning second-team All-Big Ten recognition.

Standing at 6-0, 199 pounds, Cooper boasts great athleticism for the position. He has such a natural acceleration, reaching top speed quickly while staying completely under control. His sudden stop/start ability and short-area quickness grant him immediate separation off the line with arguably the best release package in the game. When Cooper wants to get open, you aren’t stopping him, and he knows what to do with the ball in his hands. After the catch, he weaves through the defense like a running back, using that top-end speed to pull away from would-be tacklers for huge gains.

With soft, reliable hands, Cooper catches everything thrown his way. He plucks the ball out of the air away from his body, securing tough passes in traffic and using his plus body control to make acrobatic catches outside of his area. Physicality doesn’t bother him and he excels against press coverage, matching the cornerback’s intensity and winning at the catch point — if he doesn’t lose his man along the way. That contact balance shows up after the catch, too, and Cooper is both a willing and successful blocker. Teams that rely on their receivers as key blockers will love his tape.

Cooper’s route running lags behind the rest of his skills. He runs an underdeveloped route tree, mostly consisting of slants, comebacks, gos and posts. At times, it almost looks like he’s freelancing out there, and that works a lot better in college than it does in the NFL. The only other major concern on Cooper’s profile is his lack of sustained college success. He never topped 1,000 yards in a season and really only became a featured part of Indiana’s offense down the stretch in 2025. Since he’s still young, I’m not overly concerned with that, but there is a risk that he caught lightning in a bottle for a stretch of games rather than truly breaking out into the player he’ll be moving forward.

I have a late first-round grade on Cooper, and his range on draft night probably starts with the Rams at No. 13. Some teams are going to absolutely love this kid’s versatility, toughness and athleticism. Others might be scared away due to his lack of polish, but if he lands in the right system, the sky’s the limit. I would be surprised if he’s still available when Day 2 kicks off.

6: KC Concepcion, Texas A&M

A true freshman phenom at N.C. State, Concepcion was a four-star recruit from Charlotte who committed to play for the in-state Wolfpack. He was an offensive dynamo, totaling 71 receptions for 839 yards and 10 touchdowns, adding 320 rushing yards at 7.8 yards per carry. The performance earned him ACC Rookie of the Year honors as well as a spot on multiple freshman All-American teams. As a sophomore, his numbers dipped considerably, and he transferred to the Aggies prior to his junior season. In 2025, he bounced back with his new team, racking up 61 catches for 919 yards and nine touchdowns, along with a rushing touchdown, and he was named first-team All-SEC.

Standing at 6-0 and 196 pounds, Concepcion is the player in this class who will draw all the Deebo Samuel comps. He’s an excellent route runner, with a diverse route tree and an advanced ability to tempo his routes to create separation through fakes and quick cuts. Versatility is the name of his game, with experience on the outside, in the slot and even in the backfield. Concepcion has great focus at the catch point, going up and making some tough catches in traffic despite his size.

After the catch is where Concepcion thrives. He turns into a running back with the ball in his hands, weaving through the defense for huge plays. He’s liable to house a simple slant if he has an angle, and he routinely adds 10-15 extra yards after short catches. When he hits a seam, he’s gone. Against zone coverage, he finds soft spots to settle into and he manipulates zone defenders well to create extra space for the throwing lane. Concepcion is strong, too, running through would-be tacklers and playing physical against press coverage.

Concepcion is undersized, and while that doesn’t show up often, it can occasionally be an issue at the catch point, where bigger, longer defenders have an advantage. As a blocker, he leaves a lot to be desired, frequently overwhelmed on contact and not playing with the desired technique and toughness. Ball skills are also a concern with Concepcion, as he has too many concentration drops on tape and his hands don’t appear to be anything special.

After a down sophomore season, I was a bit skeptical we’d be talking about Concepcion as a potential first-round pick, but here we are. I have an early second-round grade on him but I appear to be lower than consensus with that take. A consistent riser throughout this pre-draft process, Concepcion’s route running and middle-field production are alluring, and there’s a chance he goes in the top 15.

7: Chris Bell, Louisville

A three-star recruit from Mississippi, Bell is a great story of a four-year player getting better and better each season. After playing minimally as a true freshman, he made an impact as a sophomore, catching 29 passes for 407 yards and two touchdowns. Bell’s breakout campaign came as a junior, with 43 receptions for 737 yards and four touchdowns. As a senior, he stepped it up even further, with 72 catches for 917 yards and six touchdowns, earning first-team All-ACC recognition. Unfortunately, Bell tore his ACL against SMU shortly before Thanksgiving, putting his draft stock in flux.

At 6-2, 222 pounds, Bell is built more like a running back than a receiver. He uses his size to his advantage, punishing defenders after the catch and running through arm tackles. With legit speed and surprising quickness and short-area agility, he creates separation at all levels of the field, tempoing his routes well and selling fakes to give himself extra space. Defenders are forced to respect Bell’s ability to blow by them down the field, giving him the freedom to rapidly decelerate on comebacks and in-breaking routes for easy yards.

Bell thrives in contested catch situations, boxing defenders out effectively and high-pointing the football. His deep-ball tracking is a plus, adjusting to off-target throws and reeling in well-placed passes in tight spaces. Off the line of scrimmage, Bell creates immediate advantages through his release packages, with a variety of moves he uses to give himself early separation. As a blocker, Bell is both willing and physical, adding to his value, and he can line up outside or in the slot.

Against zone coverages, Bell struggles more. He’s still learning how to find soft spots in the zones to make himself available to the quarterback and currently has a bad habit of overrunning the coverage and taking himself out of plays. I’d also like to see him continue to develop his route tree, as he mostly produces on deep passes and in the quick game. There isn’t a ton of intermediate work on his college tape.

As I said, Bell tore his ACL on November 22, throwing his draft stock into turmoil. It’s believed to be a clean ACL tear and he should be recovered in time for the start of the 2026 season, but he obviously wasn’t able to participate on the field in the pre-draft circuit or work out at the Combine. I have a second-round grade on Bell, and despite his injury, his upside is tantalizing. There’s a lot to like on his tape.

8: Germie Bernard, Alabama

A four-star recruit from Las Vegas, Bernard committed to Michigan State in 2022 and played a minor backup role as a true freshman, catching just seven passes (but converting two of them for touchdowns). He transferred to Washington in 2023 and became an important part of the Huskies’ offense in a loaded receiving corps, with 34 receptions for 419 yards and two touchdowns. When Kalen DeBoer took the Alabama job in 2024, Bernard followed him, posting 50 receptions for 794 yards and two touchdowns. His best season by far came as a senior, when he had 64 receptions for 862 yards and seven touchdowns.

Measuring 6-1, 206 pounds, Bernard is a polished possession receiver. If you need a clutch first down on a route you know will be open, he’s your guy. With quick feet and an advanced route tree, he can get open anywhere on the field. He’s best over the middle and in the short to intermediate ranges, dicing up defenses and thriving against zone coverage. Bernard has a natural feel for how to attack zone defenders, finding leverage points and settling down in soft spots where his quarterback can find him. At the tops of his routes, he plants his foot in the ground and cuts hard, gaining immediate separation and making him a real weapon on timing in-cuts and slants.

As a blocker, Bernard plays an appealing brand of physical football. He isn’t afraid to stick his nose into traffic, sealing the edge on a cutback run or setting up a screen by walling off the cornerback. After the catch is when he’s at his most dangerous, as he doesn’t waste time and has running back-like vision to weave through the defense and pick up extra yards. Bernard’s body control and ball skills are excellent, with plenty of “toe drag swag” catches on film and he is as reliable as they come at the catch point.

Bernard tested better than I thought he would, but he’s still not a vertical burner and won’t generate separation off his speed alone. That’s true after the catch too, as he’s not a super elusive player — he’s just physical and crafty. For a prospect with his profile, he’s oddly poor in contested catch situations, and physical corners bothered him at times. He’s not great at getting off press coverage and he can be bodied along his routes at times, throwing off his timing.

While Bernard may play in the slot more in the NFL than he did in college, due to his issues against press coverage, he’s still an incredibly valuable receiver. I have a late second-round grade on him and I think he can be an important WR2 in a good offense. He commands the middle of the field and is a chain-mover, while adding a ton of utility as a blocker and after the catch. He’s not the sexiest receiver, but he gets the job done, and he’s exactly the kind of player every quarterback and coach wants in their offense.

9: Skyler Bell, Connecticut

A three-star recruit from the Bronx, Bell committed to Wisconsin out of high school and redshirted in 2021 before turning heads in 2022 with 30 receptions for 444 yards and five touchdowns. After a quiet redshirt sophomore season in Madison, he transferred to UConn, where his career exploded. In 2024, he had 50 receptions for 860 yards and five touchdowns, following it up with 101 receptions for 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns — as well as consensus All-American status — in 2025.

Checking in at 6-0, 192 pounds, Bell is an explosive vertical separator. He generates impressive movement off the snap, stacking corners and getting himself open in an instant. Paired that explosiveness with smooth hips and great short-area burst, and you get his incredible separation scores, with sharp routes and quick feet to boot. The athleticism is real with Bell, and it translates on tape in a way few can match. He can line up out wide or in the slot and knows how to attack the vulnerabilities of zone coverage.

Bell has soft hands and was one of the most reliable receivers in the country in 2025, barely dropping anything despite a high target share. He’s elusive after the catch, turning that athleticism into ankle-breaking moves and a running back’s mentality in space. A route technician, Bell destroys one-on-one coverage, decelerating in an instant to shake his man and come open for big plays or critical first downs.

Despite all his athleticism, Bell sometimes struggles with the physicality of the game. He’s a little gunshy over the middle of the field, pulling up when he sees lurking safeties ready to lay the boom if he tries to make a tough catch. Press coverage can be his undoing, as his release package leaves something to be desired. Physical cornerbacks were able to get into him and bump him off his routes. Additionally, he’s not much of a blocker, showing lackluster technique and effort at times on film.

I have a second-round grade on Bell. He’s a dynamic weapon in the passing game, but his lack of physicality will only get more of a spotlight shone on it in the NFL. If a team puts him in more of the Z-receiver role that plays off the line (and moves him into the slot at times), he can use his speed and agility to create big plays without needing to match up against press coverage as often. While his limitations should keep him out of the first round, Bell is an exciting Day 2 pick and it wouldn’t surprise me if he became one of the leading rookie receivers in 2026.

10: Bryce Lance, North Dakota State

A three-star recruit from Minnesota and the younger brother of NFL QB Trey Lance, Bryce redshirted in 2021 and barely saw the field on offense in 2022 and 2023, totaling just one reception. But he exploded onto the scene in 2024, posting 75 receptions for 1,053 yards and 17 touchdowns, turning down major transfer offers to stay with the Bison. Lance followed it up in 2025 with 51 receptions for 1,079 yards and eight touchdowns, earning first-team FCS All-American status.

At 6-3, 204 pounds, Lance is a truly ridiculous athlete. He ran a 4.34-second 40-yard dash at that size, adding a 41.5-inch vertical jump and an 11-foot-1-inch broad jump — just alien stuff. That athleticism isn’t simply hypothetical, either, as he stacks cornerbacks vertically down the field, creating separation deep with his long strides and blazing acceleration. Watching him move at his size is a joy. He just eats up ground, galloping down the field with quick, explosive strides that dust defenders. Lance isn’t just an athlete out there, though, with nice work in the intermediate game and the short-area burst to create separation over the middle of the field and on in-breaking routes.

At the catch point, Lance boxes out like a basketball player going for a rebound, with high contested catch rates throughout his career. He has strong hands that secure catches away from his body and he has the strength to survive hits and defenders raking at his arms. A real red zone weapon, he tracks the ball well and high-points it in the air, leaping over defenders to secure passes with the body control to make acrobatic finishes to stay in-bounds. Lance does a lot of his best work in traffic, concentrating on his routes and gashing the defense for chunk plays.

For all his gifts, Lance is still a developing route runner. He flashes a lot of great separation skills, but his route tree is pretty limited right now. That extends to his releases, which need a lot of work. Though he profiles as an X-receiver in the NFL, he doesn’t have the skillset to win against NFL corners in press coverage yet. That means he’ll need a scheme that gets him free releases early in his career, which limits his value. Lance also struggles as a blocker despite his frame, and coaches will want to see better effort from him in the future.

I have a late second-round grade on Lance and he’s one of the highest-upside swings you can take in this class. His speed and explosiveness at that size give him near limitless potential if he puts it all together, and he has two incredibly productive seasons to his name. True, it was at the FCS level, but he proved at the Combine he’s one of the most athletic receivers we’ve seen in years. There’s a chance Lance sneaks into the top 50 come draft time.

The Next Fifteen

11 — Zachariah Branch, Georgia: A 5-9, 177-pound USC transfer, Branch is a blazingly fast receiver who does a ton of dirty work over the middle of the field despite his size. His separation scores are ludicrous and he’s much tougher than you’d expect for someone with his profile.

12 — Elijah Sarratt, Indiana: A 6-2 and a half, 210-pound Saint Francis transfer, Sarratt dominates the middle of the field as a savvy possession receiver. He’s such a crafty route runner with impressive body control at the catch point and a knack for making tough catches in traffic.

13 — Ja’Kobi Lane, USC: A 6-4, 200-pound receiver from Arizona, Lane is a dynamic red zone threat. He’s a master of using his body to shield defenders away from the ball, making impressive catches look simple with his plus body control and acrobatic footwork.

14 — Deion Burks, Oklahoma: A 5-10, 180-pound Purdue transfer, Burks is an absurdly gifted athlete. His production wasn’t stellar in a lackluster Oklahoma offense, but he’s a rocked-up, twitchy athlete with plus ball skills and pound-for-pound strength.

15 — Antonio Williams, Clemson: A 5-11 and a half, 187-pound South Carolina native, Williams is a nasty route runner who creates easy separation deep down the field. He’s a weapon on those routes, with plus ball-tracking abilities and short-area quickness.

16 — Chris Brazzell II, Tennessee: A 6-4, 198-pound Tulane transfer, Brazzell has a ridiculous size/speed combination. His best work comes on deep balls, as he’s able to use his plus speed to break down the field and make acrobatic catches over helpless defenders.

17 — Ted Hurst, Georgia State: A 6-4, 206-pound transfer from Valdosta State, Hurst is an explosive receiver who consistently attacks defenses vertically. For a tall receiver, he’s great after the catch, and he’s a red zone weapon with great hands as well.

18 — Malachi Fields, Notre Dame: A 6-4 and a half, 218-pound Virginia transfer, Fields is a massive receiver who has eye-catching deep ball production despite middling athleticism. He’s almost more of a gadget player, but he’s a real weapon in the red zone and can make stuff happen after the catch.

19 — CJ Daniels, Miami: A 6-2, 202-pound LSU transfer, Daniels excels over the middle of the field. He’s got quick feet and smooth hips, breaking off his routes cleanly for easy separation on in-breaking routes, presenting an easy target for his quarterback.

20 — Cyrus Allen, Cincinnati: A 5-11, 180-pound Louisiana Tech transfer, Allen is an excellent route runner from the slot. With legitimate vertical speed and a great release package, he projects as a potential future starter in the slot.

21 — Kevin Coleman Jr., Missouri: A 5-10, 180-pound receiver who transferred three times in college, Coleman is a quick slot receiver who wins down the field. He can get separation off the line with good footwork and has nice ball skills at the catch point.

22 — Eric Rivers, Georgia Tech: A 5-10, 176-pound Florida International transfer, Rivers is a speedster who can win from the slot or on the outside. He knows how to attack press and zone and can win downfield on some impressive reps.

23 — Tyren Montgomery, John Carroll: A 6-1, 190-pound Division III star, Montgomery showed out at the Senior Bowl. With great ball skills and the speed to stack corners vertically, he can be a mismatch weapon on the outside.

24 — Brenen Thompson, Mississippi State: A 5-9, 164-pound transfer from Texas, Thompson was the fastest player at this year’s Combine. He’s devastating on crossing routes and deep down the field, though he’ll need to prove his versatility on special teams to be active on game days as a rookie.

25 — Jeff Caldwell, Cincinnati: A 6-5, 216-pound transfer from Lindenwood, Caldwell is one of the most ridiculous athletes in Combine history. With exceptional top speed, short-area twitch, and explosiveness, he can be a dynamic weapon if the rest of his skills ever catch up.
