A coach of his told me they have to tell him to chill out because he goes so hard in practice. That’s my kind of player. Idk how fast his 40 is because he hurt his foot and couldn’t test but I’m told he MPH’s he notched matched Deebo Samuels when he was there
And it showed on the field. So him get behind Trevon Diggs.. saw him catch a deep ball on CJ Henderson. The dude plays as fast as he needs to. Runs routes fast. Runs routes well. At 6’3” 215 runs the end arounds several times a game. Fights for yards after contact
He has good feet and hands at the LOS. Showed strong hands. I don’t have a lot of questions for him and I see exactly how his game translates to the NFL.
I recently asked an NFL receiver coach “Whats the number 1 reason talented players end up bust?” His response “They aren’t dogs.. they aren’t willing to do that extra work.. can’t fight through hard times.”

Teams won’t have that issue with Edwards
WR4 Michael Pittman Jr

University of Southern California
Pittman was originally my WR6. But as I watched more of some guys he was able to jump up a couple spots. 6’4”. I know his name has been getting love as of late.. but it’s not just hype. Dudes legit
I was watching Pittman and I’m like damn this dude reminds me of someone.. couldn’t put my finger on it..I think I’ve settled in at Vincent Jackson. Pittman is a big dog on the field. Soft hands. Fluid mover. Really has a lot of the same traits as Isaiah Hodgins but tested better
He’s a terrific contested catch guy. Has speed to threaten corners vertically. Has nice consistent possession catch ability. I don’t know if he does one thing ELITE. But he does EVERYTHING well. I wish he had a little more nastiness on the field.
But at 6’4” 220 with his movement skills and ability.. with that good speed.. he’s another guy who’s game I think translates to the NFL extremely well and will be an 8-10 year guy if he wants it
Before I get to my top 3.. again I want to mention how I dropped the ball and left Brandon Aiyuk off the list. He was supposed to be pegged in there right between Reagor and Hodgins. Moving guys around and got to excited lol

So Aiyuk is supposed to be WR8 with high upside
WR3 Justin Jefferson

Louisiana State University
I like Jefferson’s game.. like the rest of twitter I was a little shocked to see the 4.43 40 at the combine but it’s good to see he has that tucked in the bag. For a guy who was primarily slot in 2019.. played outside 2018.. showed nice versatility.. but why WR3?
I think he has a few elite traits that translate well into the NFL. Hands. Strong mitts needed to play over the middle like he does. Fearless over the middle. Solid route runner over the middle. Set up defenders well over the middle
I think outside of the Georgia game where they took away something and ran to something, he had no issue being able to lose guys in space. And then I factored in the ability to be able to lose guys at the top of routes. Smooth mover. Has suddenness tucked away but it’s in there
And then his contested catch ability downfield.. I factored that in. Tracks in balls extremely well downfield. Tough as nails. I talked about Ruggs standing in there blocking.. Jefferson was front line lol played like every snap in the run game like a TE. And did very well
