Three questions for a WR prospect:
1. Did you run a 4.50 40 or better?
2. Are you an underclassman? (If you're a RS junior, the answer is no)
3. Did you have a 1,000-yd season in college?

Six players were young and fast, but not so productive. A little worrisome for Henry Ruggs, K.J. Hamler, Donovan Peoples-Jones and Lynn Bowden.

And finally, the bucket for the players who answer "No" for all three categories, like Van Jefferson, Bryan Edwards, K.J. Hill, Aaron Fuller, Collin Johnson, Kalija Lipscomb, Jauan Jennings, Juwan Johnson, Tyrie Cleveland and Joe Reed.
