1. Sammy Watkins
Viewed as the top receiver by most, Watkins has little to prove, but a reassuring 40-yard dash time would not do any harm.
2. Odell Beckham Jr.
On tape, Beckham shows wonderful burst and acceleration. In Indy, he will need to have an impressive 10-yard split and broad jump to prove that.
3. Brandin Cooks
Cooks is looked down upon for his size and the physical limitations that follow that. If he explodes during bench press, some of his critics may be silenced.
4. Jarvis Landry
Landry’s three-cone drill needs to replicate the quickness he shows on tape.
5. Allen Robinson
To an extent, there are concerns about Robinson’s long speed. A surprisingly high 40-yard dash time could change minds.
6. Jared Abbrederis
Like Landry, Abbrederis flashes blazing quickness on tape. Can he prove that during the three-cone drill?
7. Jordan Matthews
Some doubt Matthews long speed, yet others say it is being underrated. His 40-yard dash time will prove one of the parties right.
8. Marqise Lee
Lee struggles with drop issues, which was especially true this season. With an impressive run through the Gauntlet, Lee may be able to prove that he has the ability to catch consistently.
9. Mike Evans
It is well known that Evans can leap sky high, but his speed is a question. A solid 40-yard dash time for his size will be a relaxing thing to see for scouts.
10. Josh Huff
At Oregon, Huff did not have to do much leaping for contested passes. Seeing how short he is, an outstanding vertical could lead teams to thinking he has the ability to do more than what was on tape.
11. Kelvin Benjamin
Benjamin’s most hindering issue is his hands. The Gauntlet will be his time to prove doubters wrong.
12. Davante Adams
While he has shown stunning vertical ability, Adams’ quickness is a concern. The three-cone and shuttle drills will be crucial.
13. Michael Campanaro
Campanaro is a shifty slot threat, but his vertical ability may be in question. With his height, a good vertical jump could turn heads.
14. Donte Moncrief
There are flashes of foot quickness is Moncrief’s game, but not consistently. His shuttle run performance may give reason to believe he can show such quickness more often.
15. Cody Hoffman
Despite being an impressive athlete, Hoffman’s hands have failed him at times. The Gauntlet could make or break his combine.
16. Bruce Ellington
Seeing that Ellington does not have a true position, he’ll have to have an impressive showing in all drills to show that he is not limited.
17. Martavis Bryant
Like so many of these other taller receivers, Bryant’s Gauntlet run will be a huge factor.
18. Kevin Norwood
Long speed is not Norwood’s game, but if he can run better than expected, his stock may rise.
19. Willie Snead
Snead is a speed demon, but his foot quickness when route running is average. An impressive shuttle run could prove that there is room to improve.
20. Shaq Evans
No matter who you are, an impressive 40-yard dash time catches everyone’s attention. For Evans, a 40-yard dash time better than expected could be huge.
21. Jalen Saunders
With his size, Saunders’ bench press and vertical jump results could turn teams away or draw them in, depending on how he performs.
22. Matt Hazel
The size for Hazel is there, but long speed and lateral quickness is questionable, leaving the 40-yard dash and shuttle runs weighing heavily.
23. Jeremy Gallon
Like the other small receivers, Gallon’s bench press and vertical are crucial.
24. Devin Street
At 6’3”, Street’s size alone draws attention. Unexpected success in the 40-yard dash along with his size would be stunning.
25. Brandon Coleman
Some will blame Gary Nova, but Coleman’s hands are a concern. His catching ability during the Gauntlet will be interesting.
26. TJ Jones
Jones, despite his size, has proved that he has impressive vertical ability, but can he show some speed to compliment that?
27. Allen Hurns
Hurns is a relatively average athlete. Overachieving in any of the drills would be a success for him.
28. Paul Richardson
Richardson is a blazing speed threat, but how he catches during the Gauntlet will be his most important test.
29. Robert Herron
It is known that Herron will blow up the 40-yard dash, but can he make a splash in any other area?
30. Ryan Grant
Outside of long speed, Grant is a relatively good athlete. IF he can show up and run a stunning 4-yard dash, he can prove that he is the complete package.
31. Bennie Fowler
Fowler is an “old” prospect who has received little attention. He needs to make some noise in any way possible.
32. Damian Copeland
Copeland has flashed vertical ability and agility, but he needs to prove that his long speed is better than advertised.
33. Isaiah Burse
Burse’s speed and quickness is impressive, but good vertical jump would make for an impressive trio of physical abilities.
34. Mike Davis
Although he is fast, with Davis’ skinny frame, an impressive bench press may prove that his frame will not be an issue.
35. Jeff Janis
Janis has all the physical tools and enough speed, but can he shine elsewhere?
36. Quincy Enunwa
For a receiver his size, Enunwa is rather bulky. The agility drills will prove whether or not that is an issue.
37. Cody Latimer
Latimer is a big receiver with clunky feet. The three-cone and shuttle drill will be telling of his agility.
38. L’Damian Washington
Washington looks the part, but a flashy 40-yard time to accompany his size would be enticing.
39. Tevin Reese
Reese’s speed is insane, but his hands are baffling. His Gauntlet run will be more important than any other drill for him.
40. Marcus Lucas
He looks the part, but Lucas is not much of an athlete. Although, a well-ran 40-yard dash to compliment his size would certainly draw eyes.
41. Josh Stewart
Stewart is one of the smaller, quicker receivers in the class, but with a good 40-yard dash, he could be considered as a special teams specialist.
42. Christopher Boyd
After being kicked off the Vanderbilt football team, Boyd needs to have a stunning performance in every drill.
43. Philly Brown
At Ohio State, Brown proved he can be a vertical threat, but can he prove that he can be more via the agility drills?
44. Kain Colter
Like Ellington, Colter does not have a position. He will need an impressive all-around combine to prove his versatility.
45. Albert Wilson
Wilson is a short, stocky receiver that needs to reassure scouts of his speed in Indy.
46. John Brown
Coming in rather undersized, Brown will need to solidify his athleticism with a solid 40-yard dash and vertical jump.
47. Austin Franklin
Without any other stunning physical traits, Franklin’s 40-yard dash needs to be breath taking.
48. Walt Powell
Being from as small of a school as Murray State, Powell needs an impressive combine performance in every drill.
