"... Rugged "chain mover" with outstanding hands, ball skills and acrobatic footwork. He looks like a WR1 when he steps onto the field, despite concerns about his speed. - B Brooks - (Rates # 3)
Great size w long arms...Fast but not in 4.3 range...Attention falls off when he's not primary receiver...Quick and fast for a big receiver...Very reliable returner...Will cause matchup problems...projects as #1 receiver in pros - PFW
Highly touted out of HS in Phoenix area...Makes highlight reel catches and jaw-dropping open field moves - as a 6-2+ 228 pounder...Will make early impact due to his athleticism and vertical ability...Ideal height, size and filled-out frame...Wins jump ball battles easily...Strong hands with strength in traffic...Route tree mainly short-intermediate but can also go deep - Lindy's
Boom or bust prospect...Prototypical "X" receiver....Outstanding as catch and run threat...Key traits: his ability to contort himslf and adjust to the off-target ball and ripping away the 50-50 ball...but long speed is questionable...rarely creates separation...big CB's may give him problems...Sylistically resembles DeAngelo Hopkins but performs nowhere near that level - Athlon
Exxcellent at going up in the air to make the leaoing catch...adept at picking up yards after the catch - USA Today

"... Rugged pass catcher with outstanding hands and ball skills. He routinely plucks the ball off the heads of defenders on vertical routes down the boundary. Questions about his speed might torpedo his stock, but the Ole Miss standout looks like a natural WR1 with the size and strength to dominate smallish corners. - B Brooks - (Rates # 4)
Great size, length and body control...quick-footed...good COD...Good RAC skills...But not a burner...sometimes seems detached...One of most talented receivers in draft - PFW.
Thick build, fluid mover, changes direction effortlessly...played a lot of slot...adept at timing his breaks and altering his stride...Basketball-style releases and ball skills are elite...Big mitts...Phenominal at locating ball in air...More smooth than explosive...Lack of suddenness/undermines separation moves...Comp: Keenan Allen, Anquan Boldin - Lindy's
Big bodied receiver with a good amount of twitch...Competitive (will sacrifice his body/plays well in traffic)tracks ball well...strong hands...will mix it up in the run game...May not be plug 'n play because Ole Miss system relies on one word play calls and a limited route tree...Played primarily in slot and his ability to play outside is an open issue...Would seem to fit best as a power slot receiver and could develop into a top possession guy - Athlon
A big body who has the quicks to play out of the slot...Best all-around receiver in a class that's light in stardom but long on depth...- USA Today

Big play waiting to happen...NJ native...big bodied WR...Plays a physical brand of ball...strengths are height, leaping ability and strength after the catch...Productive on back-shoulder throws and high-pointng balls...Understands how to get into a defender...Poor at diagnosing secondary...routes need cleaning up...top-end speed a concern - Lindy's
Big receiver who knows how to use his size...bullied college DB's...Strong hands and good sense of timing...very good at adjusting to back-shoulder throws...pro DB's won't respect his speed the way college defenders did...Not slow/has adequate build-u speed...but didn't consistently create separation - Athlon...

Waterbug...Is there a role in the Air Raid offense for a small, fast WR? - Gollin
"...A bit of an outlier from his fellow WR prospects as a slender playmaker with home-run potential. The 5-foot-10, 160-pounder is a DeSean Jackson-like deep threat with speed to burn. (UPDATE: After these rankings were published, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Brown had Lisfranc surgery last month and won't participate in the combine or Oklahoma's pro day.) - B Brooks -( Rates #1)
"Speed, speed and more speed."....Plus he's quick and fearless for a little guy....Difficult to cover one on one...small handed (dropsy?)...very quick off LOS - PFW
"Hollywood"...elite top-end speed and ball skills...Younger cousin of Antonio Brown...One of the most feared deep threats in the game...Has rare speed, outstanding lateral explosion and excellent vision...Really elevated his game last season...Makes defenders miss in the open field...Very twitchy...Creative runner that has moves on top of moves...Slight build - struggles in 50-50 situations...Comp: DeSean Jackson - Lindy's
Size is a drawback but his speed makes him a safer bet than big, high-ceiling receivers... Combines initial quicks and gamebreaking long speed...consistently runs away from defenders on crossing routes...but short and slight/simply gets overpowered at the catch point...speed makes him be respected even when he doesn't get his hands on the ball - Athlon
Averaged an incredible 18.3 yds per receptions on 132 catches...a burner who is also electric in the open field...best home room hitter in theis class - USA Today

Write-ups suggest a big possession guy - Gollin
Played in NFL-type offense...Strong points are size, strength and athleticism...Strong and powerful runner after the catch...Gets open deep but not consistently...suffers too many concentration-drops...Will be a load for safeties to cover. - PFW
Huge mismatch receiver with outstanding height, a wide body and long frame...Locker room leader...Terrific quicks and body control for size...Weapon on jump balls...Built like a tank (faux TE?)...At his best high pointing ball or in 50-50 or red zone situations...Somewhat of a one-speed guy with tight hips who struggles separating...Not a threat after the catch...Most of his experience is outside...- Lindy's
Great body control and tracking skills...Capable of pulling off some contested-catch wizardry...will fight his way back for under-thrown balls and has a knack for the subtle push-off...Great work on back shoulder throws....Tracks ball well over shoulder...Red zone threat...Long speed is fringy...not a major threat with ball in his hands...One of the higher floor receivers in this draft....Middling long speed may make him a complimentary receiver - Athlon

Very good athlete with great body control, speed and COD...Good hands (hand-snatcher)...Explosive...solid rute rnner...Good after catch...inconsistent (unenthusiastic) blocker...Has upside but may lack competitive intensity - PFW
Career production won't jump off the page...projects as regular starter at some point in his career...already runs a handful of routes well...Thick frame, long awms, strong hands.....wins consistently at jump ball matchups...Quality ball skills but has too many concentration drops...seems to lack explosiveness...will have to separate better to succeed at next level - Lindy's
Good blood lines (brother is Calvin)...Still in development phase...Has size and strength to win ...more adept at tracking the ball than last year...ball skills are solid....Understands the importance of "late hands"....Still raw early in the down...Outside chance at being a true #1 starter - Athlon

One of the best pure athletes in this draft...Explosive mover and long-speed burner...Best in catch and run situations...Runs hard with ball in hands...when he breaks tackles, he has the acceleraton and pure speed to outrun angles....Perfect for jet-motion...bit of a gadget player....speed makes him dangerous vertically, but hands can get a bit shaky...will probably line up in the slot...Comp: A slightly bigger Tavon Austin - Athlon
Burner (4.31 forty) capable of a versatile, diverse role that might ask him to contribute at receiver and on jet-sweeps and gadget plays - USa Today

Write ups describe a small, speedy type with polished moves - Gollin
Tweaked up speed WR who is a dynamic return man and very difficult to cover coming out of the slot in spread formations...Super clean release/outstanding at varying his gait...Eats up chunks of yardage like Pac-Man...Skills are stellar...But at 170 lbs, his playing strength is suspect - Lindy's

Little guy...Lightning fast (Long speed measured at Combine is faster than write-ups suggests - Is there room for a WR like that in an Air Raid-type pro offense? - Gollin
Very productive, fast, quick, tough and competitive...Returns punts and KO's...Very short (small hands) but very productive...Not a burner...may be a spot as a slot-receiver in the NFL...Difficult to cut because he makes plays but has obvious limitations - PFW
Can flat out run away from anybody...Undersized speed receiver and deep threat... dedicated to his craft...Stood out at Senior Bowl...His game is built on change of direction...Not a strong blocker...lacks a variety of moves (so far)...Excellent RAC instincts and an extra gear...hands catcher with "plus" ball skills... - Lindy"s
Quick, sudden, shifty and a handful to cover....slippery in space...moves like a RB...Plays with a competitive temperment and relentless motor...Size will be a concern...Has good but not great long speed...Might be relegated to slot duty but can separate underneath, make plays after the catch and run away on deep crosses - Athlon

Strong points are size and reach...Returns KO's...Talented but goes thru the motions too often and doesn't always finish. Lazy route runner when not the primary target..Very talented but doesn't know how to use that talent...Might be a move TE. Will probably be overdrafted. - PFW

Looks more like a running back than a receiver...Strong hands and pretty large receiving radius...Quick burst/willing blocker...Not a skywalker...Lacks fluidity and top speed...Projects as #4 WR on most pro teams. - PFW
Twitched-up athlete who is very sudden and extremely quick out of his breaks...Special threat as a runner...Knows how to use his route running to set up his defenders for failure...At Senior Bowl, he made a double move vs. Rock Ya-Sin, adjusted to the ball, stopped and leapt toward the sideline for a 35 yd or so divng catch...Lacks ideal height...may struggle with more physical corners...Doubt he can survive on the perimeter due to lack of height - Lindy's
Legit 1st rounder before breaking leg in 2017...When healthy, an explosive athlete with great explosion, COD and top-start skills...Exceptionally dangerous after the catch....quicker than fast...most effective from the slot...Not quite the same player coming off injury - Medicals will receive extra attention...Potential game changer - Athlon
