2026 Draft: WR

I am not advocating for this prospect but he deserves to have his season highlighted. 3 punt return TDs this year but even more remarkable - A 28.3 yd average per punt return. That's a free deep pass 3-6 times per game.

 
He's quite unpleasant. He's one of those amateur pundits who thinks it's clever to be overly critical of prospects he doesn't like.
That and when he's on his own, he's a bit too disorganized as well.

What did I post? Oh, yeah. Averaged about 100 All-purpose yds per game this year. KR/PR/Pass/Rush TD - at least one of each this year.

Definitely a Swiss Army knife for Iowa.

Not sure he can play football though. The NFL isn't a track meet but sometimes you find someone who can play just enough to get by.

He's a 6th year senior and I'm afraid my mature prospect dance card is currently full.
 
Okay, not so bad. I just saw how long he'd been in college. I'll let him off.
He's a track guy who's really only played football last 2 years. 2025 was his only year on Scholarship.
 
I think I've found my Tory Horton for this year.



I really like his body control, ability to decelerate and his quick cuts. Strength of opposition is a problem but if he can hit 22mph, he has plus NFL speed.

Both Dane Brugler and James Foster are bullish on him and the fact that he got a Senior Bowl invite suggests the NFL are too.
 
Same initials. Impressive consistency, Manx.
Ha! I hadn’t noticed. I suspect the only consistency will be the disappointment felt when somewhen else drafts him and he starts of well on someone else’s roster.
 
Here's a day 3 WR prospect to consider.

De'Zhaun Stribling, Ole Miss, 6'2, 210

I was looking at run blocking WRs thinking about future Mack Hollins replacements and Stribling is first among draftable WRs ahead of Denzel Boston who has been right up there all year. He's also fast. Underutilised at Ole Miss, he only has 38 catches for 533 yards but I love a WR that does everything right - Stribling has only 1 dropped catch and bats 1.000 on contested catches. He had 2 TDs in the egg bowl.







Remember, 6'2, 210
