Here is a look at the wide receivers attending the Senior Bowl in Mobile,  Alabama.

North

Jared Abbrederis – Wisconsin

Abbrederis is a crisp route runner with good feed which makes him incredibly shifty.  He returned kicks and punts at Wisconsin thanks to his dynamic ability but does have questions lingering over his straight-line speed.

Josh Huff – Oregon

Ducks wide receiver Huff is a very consistent wide receiver that does not excel in one particular area.  He has good speed and athleticism but is not on the same level of other Oregon players.  At 5’11” he is built well although he could add some more weight to his frame.  His hands are decent and so is his route running.

Robert Herron – Wyoming

Herron has elite top-end speed and could be one of the fastest players in this year’s draft class.  His production has increased every year as a starter thanks to good ball skills and his ability to make yards after the catch.  Herron struggles with press coverage and offers little on intermediate routes.

Shaquelle Evans – UCLA

At 6’1” and 211lbs. Evans is a good size for the NFL.  He caught 133 career passes at UCLA after breaking out as a junior.  A solid punt returner too,  Evans is an intriguing prospect for scouts with projected draft position ranging from the third to the sixth round.

Michael Campanaro – Wake Forest

Campanaro is a terrific route runner with incredible body control.  He creates separation on almost any route and catches the ball well with his hands.  The 5’11” receiver can make plays with the ball in his hands after the catch as well as returning kicks.

Jeff Janis – Saginaw Valley State

Small school receiver Janis is rapid.  At the college’s junior pro day he ran in the 4.3’s while standing 6’3” tall.  He has strong hands and makes good adjustments to the ball with sharp cuts in his routes.  As a senior he caught 83 passes for 1,572 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Kain Colter - Northwestern

The QB/WR was invited to the Senior Bowl as a receiver thanks to his sophomore year when he caught 43 passes for 466 yards and three touchdowns.  He is a determined football player who is willing to do anything to play the game.  He will look to follow the example set by Julian Edelman.

South

Jordan Matthews – Vanderbilt

Thanks to his hands and route running Matthews is a plug-and-play starter in the NFL from Week one.  He creates great separation with strong routes and catches the ball beautifully with his hands and rarely uses his body.  Matthew is not an athletic freak like a lot of people want from their wideout but he shines nonetheless.

Mike Davis – Texas

At 6’0” and 193lbs. Davis has good burst with strong long distance speed.  He is quite strong and could get stronger if he adds to his lean frame.  Davis is a smart route runner with experience in running a big route tree.  One downside is his hands are a little inconsistent.

Cody Hoffman – BYU

For a man who stands 6’4” I would class Hoffman as a good athlete with great balance and body control.  He is a savvy route runner and incorporates good fakes to create separation.  Frustratingly,  Hoffman has a knack of creating spectacular catches while also dropping the odd gimmick.

Kevin Norwood – Alabama

Norwood is a well-rounded receiver with strong hands,  consistent route running and good long speed although he is often slow reaching his top gear.  As a senior he tallied 38 receptions for 568 yards and seven touchdowns.

Jalen Saunders - Oklahoma

At 5’8” and 164lbs Saunders is tiny.  As you would expect he displays terrific athleticism and body control as well as beautiful hands – he catches anything thrown his way.  In the NFL Saunders would take a lot of punishment so could be limited to being a kick/punt returner – which he is very good at it – until he adds bulk to his frame.

Ryan Grant – Tulane

Over the past two seasons Grant has totalled 153 catches for 2,288 yards and 15 touchdowns despite being the focal point of the Tulane attack.  With a good knack of making plays after the catch he is sure to catch onto a practice squad.

Solomon Patton - Florida

Patton went from eight catches through the first three years of his college career to amassing 44 as a senior on a woeful Florida team.  Patton displays a lot of quickness and is very versatile.  He is definitely a work in progress but has nothing to lose in Mobile.
