Shane Wynn, Wide Receiver – Indiana Hoosiers

For a later round draft pick who’s name you might actually hear on opening week, look no further than Indiana’s Shane Wynn. Playing as a Hoosier, Wynn had few opportunities for the gaze of national audiences, but folks in the Big Ten know very well who he is.

Wynn has blazing speed, being clocked at a 4.28 forty in his fastest time, but at a diminutive 5’6 and 167 pounds, he lacks a lot of the size teams look for at wide receiver. He averaged 11.7 yards every time he touched the ball, whether rushing or receiving, and caught 20 touchdowns for the Hoosiers.

It’s as a kick returner that Wynn will probably get a lot of looks and where he did a lot of his damage at Indiana. He finished with 1,854 kickoff return yards, averaging 21.8 yards per return, and scoring one touchdown. He also had a punt return for a TD in 2013.
