2020 NFL Draft: The year of the wide receiver
By Ryan Roberts
Tamorrion Terry, Florida State
The Florida State Seminoles struggled mightily in 2018, but you couldn’t tell if you focused in on what the 6-4, 203-pound redshirt sophomore was able to do during just his second season on campus. A potential longshot to enter the 2020 NFL Draft, Terry’s athletic profile just had to be included onto this list. Terry is a long strider who does his best work as a vertical centric player, winning also with his length.
Right now, Terry’s breaks are a bit sloppy and disjointed and he has some trouble tracking the ball down the field. But with a second season as the primary target for the Seminoles, an early entrance into the 2020 class would not be the craziest thought in the world — especially with a struggling Florida State program that might not be in for a quick rebirth this season.
With some added physical development, improved concentration and refinement of getting in and out of breaks, Terry possesses all the tools to develop into a top NFL Draft prospect.
Michael Pittman Jr., USC
With an NFL father of the same name, the comparisons between Michael Pittman Jr. and his Super Bowl-winning dad end right about there. At 6-4 and 225 pounds, Pittman’s game lives up to his god-given size. Pittman currently plays a big body game, routinely winning above the rim. He is also incredibly powerful at the catch point, showing the ability to shield defenders with his body.
Just how dynamic is Pittman, though? That remains to be seen. Worst-case scenario, Pittman Jr. cements himself as a more than solid chain mover, with strong hands at the catch point. To add to the positives of Pittman, you won’t find many better blockers at the wide receiver position in the country. He’s a grinder, and every team needs a grinder.
