Chicago Bears: 5 Wide receivers to target in 2020 NFL Draft

If you want excitement waiting to explode on any play then you want Brandon Aiyuk. He is incredible after making the catch and is a threat to score on any play. When in a one-on-one, he dominates. That means opposing defenses have to pay attention to him. When they do, other key receivers get the opportunity to get open.

Last season, Robinson was the most dependable receiver on the Chicago Bears offense and received a lot of attention yet he found a way to gain 1,147 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. Imagine when someone else takes the double-teams.

At 6-0 and 205 pounds, Aiyuk has the size to be a good NFL receiver. He ran a 4.5-second 40-yard dash but his specialty is the explosiveness he has off the snap. He is too quick if he is single-teamed. He explodes and gets open right away, helping the quarterback make a play quickly.

In 2019, Aiyuk had 65 catches for 1,192 yards and eight touchdowns. He was a big-play receiver, averaging 18.3 yards per catch. He garnered the Associated Press third-team All-American and the Pac-12 first-team All-Conference.

In addition to his receiving skills, Aiyuk also helps on special teams. In 2019, he had 14 kickoff returns and averaged 31.9 yards per return. He added 14 punt returns and averaged 16.1 yards per return.

Moving the ball down the field methodically is fine and good but sometimes you need big plays and score quick points. They add excitement to the offense and come in handy when you’re down in the game. Aiyuk will bring in that excitement and help the other receivers generate some as well.
