Here are the wide receiver participants for the 2016 NFL Scouting Combine for the upcoming draft.

The NFL Scouting Combine is just a couple of weeks away and the invitees for the 2016 crop of college prospects will be in attendance to show that they belong in the top-tier of players in this year’s NFL Draft.

Many teams will be looking to add depth at the wide receiver position. When looking around the league, there are many teams with wideouts becoming free agents and if you’re the Detroit Lions, your Hall of Fame receiver has decided to hang up his cleats at the ripe age of 30.

Luckily for the teams looking to add playmakers on the outside, this year’s draft class is loaded with talent at the position. Talented received are usually few and far between, but this class is deep.

Here’s the list of receivers who will be at the combine from Feb. 23-29, according to ProFootballTalk.com:

  • Bralon Addison, Oregon
  • Geronimo Allison, Illinois
  • DeMarcus Ayers, Houston
  • Tyler Boyd, Pittsburgh
  • Chris Brown, Notre Dame
  • Aaron Burbridge, Michigan State
  • Devon Cajuste, Stanford
  • Leonte Carroo, Rutgers
  • Corey Coleman, Baylor
  • Pharoh Cooper, South Carolina
  • Cody Core, Ole Miss
  • Trevor Davis, California
  • Josh Doctson, TCU
  • D.J. Foster, Arizona State
  • Will Fuller, Notre Dame
  • Keyarris Garrett, Tulsa
  • Rashard Higgins, Colorado State
  • Johnny Holton, Cincinnati
  • Cayleb Jones, Arizona
  • Kenny Lawler, California
  • Roger Lewis, Bowling Green
  • Kolby Listenbee, TCU
  • Ricardo Louis, Auburn
  • Byron Marshall, Oregon
  • Jalin Marshall, Ohio State
  • Mekale McKay, Cincinnati
  • Braxton Miller, Ohio State
  • Malcolm Mitchell, Georgia
  • Chris Moore, Cincinnati
  • Marquez North, Tennessee
  • Jordan Payton, UCLA
  • Charone Peake, Clemson
  • Demarcus Robinson, Florida
  • Alonzo Russell, Toledo
  • Rashawn Scott, Miami (Fla.)
  • Hunter Sharp, Utah State
  • Tajae Sharpe, Massachusetts
  • Sterling Shepard, Oklahoma
  • Nelson Spruce, Colorado
  • Michael Thomas, Ohio State
  • Laquon Treadwell, Ole Miss
  • Duke Williams, Auburn
  • De’Runnya Wilson, Mississippi State

As you can see, that list is absolutely loaded from top to bottom. Some potential big-name guys who could break out early at the next level are Laquon Treadwell, Will Fuller, Josh Doctson and Corey Coleman.

There are some sleepers as well. Leonte Carroo of Rutgers was an absolute beast in his time with the Scarlet Knights, finishing his three-year career with 2,373 yards and 29 touchdowns on 122 catches. He has the physical tools to be a solid contributor in the NFL. Don’t sleep on guys like Aaron Burbridge, Nelson Spruce, Jordan Payton, Michael Thomas, Braxton Miller, D.J. Foster or Kolby Listenbee, either. Those guys have the most to prove and could rise, or fall, the most following their combine performances.
